Guardiola

When Josep 'Pep' Guardiola was a part of Barcelona's 'Dream Team', he knew he wanted to swap the pitch for the touchline.

But learning how to handle the pressure, the press and the outrageous talent at the top of football doesn't happen overnight.

From his experience as a player to his time leading some of the most formidable sides in football history, this is the incredible story of how Pep forged himself into one of the greatest tactical managers of all time.

This book is part of Tales from the Touchline - an offshoot from Ransom’s popular Tales from the Pitch series. In each of these books, Harry Coninx reveals the inspiring journey of a game-changing manager, in a fresh, pundit-like voice.

Along the way, fans will meet some of the biggest personalities in the game, relive the drama of exciting matches, and also discover the very human stories behind the managers they watch on their screens week after week.

At only 120 pages long, these books have been specially written and designed to make them ideal reads for reluctant and dyslexic readers.
