Manchester City are auctioning items from Pep Guardiola's office that give a unique insight into the mind of the legendary manager.

Guardiola left City at the end of last season, bringing the curtain down on a glittering decade in which he won 15 major trophies.

The 55-year-old's haul of silverware included six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League in 2023, when he led the club to the Treble.

Guardiola has been one of the most fascinating characters in world football for almost two decades, owing to his revolutionary tactics and intense personality.

Now, fans can get inside the mind of the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager after City launched the auction, with some of the proceeds reportedly going to the club's charity, City in the Community.

The online auction offers the chance to take a 360-degree virtual tour of Guardiola's office, with the items up for auction all on display.

Souvenirs include 'Pep's Note Collection', which consists of two pitch pads with the coach's original tactics written down, plus two pens and a notepad. As of 10am BST on Tuesday, the highest bid was already £641.

Other interesting items include Erling Haaland's commemorative football - of which only three were ever produced - to celebrate the City striker reaching 100 Premier League goals in record time, with the bidding already around the £5,000 mark.

You can also bid for some of Guardiola's clothing, including his manager's jacket, the whistle he used during training sessions and several framed photos and collages celebrating his achievements.

There are pictures of the City manager with the trophies he won and alongside various members of his backroom staff, some of which include a section of the goal net from his final home game, a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa on May 24.

Some of the more unique items up for auction include Guardiola's coffee cup set, his incense collection, a selection of trinkets (two small turtles, a pebble and a painted star, in case you were wondering) and his desk lamp, all of which currently have bids well into three figures. The auction closes at 4pm BST on Sunday, July 26.

Guardiola has not committed to his next job but a move into international management could be on the cards, with reports emerging that he has held talks over becoming the next Italy head coach.

He has been succeeded at City by former Chelsea and Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca, who was part of the coaching staff at the Etihad between 2020 and 2023.
