Overview
- Manchester City has opened an online auction on MatchWornShirt featuring items from Pep Guardiola’s private office displayed in a 360-degree virtual tour.
- Lots range from everyday objects such as coffee cups, a desk lamp, incense and trinkets to tactical materials including two pitch pads with Guardiola’s handwritten notes and his pens.
- A signed commemorative football marking Erling Haaland’s 100 Premier League goals is among the most sought-after pieces and has drawn early bids into the low thousands of euros.
- The auction, which closes at 4pm BST on Sunday July 26, is time-limited and carries provenance via the club’s official presentation of the office and lot list.
- The sale follows Guardiola’s departure after a decade of trophy-winning management and Enzo Maresca’s appointment as his successor, and some reports say a portion of proceeds will be directed to City in the Community.
