Man City to auction off Pep Guardiola’s old office equipment

City are set to auction off items from the old office of Pep Guardiola at the club’s training complex, following his departure after a trophy-laden decade.

Among the items going under the hammer are his desk lamp and coffee cup — modest, everyday items that carried Pep through some of the most successful seasons in the club’s history.

The sale gives supporters a chance to own a genuine piece of the Guardiola era, rather than being just a bog-standard clear-out.

It’s a small but telling marker of how completely the page has turned at the Etihad. Guardiola’s exit brought an end to a period that delivered six Premier League titles, the club’s first Champions League triumph, and a historic treble in 2022/23, when City won the league, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season — a feat previously achieved by only one other English club.

City are now focused on life under Enzo Maresca, with the fringe squad members already back in training as of Monday ahead of the pre-season tour of Asia.

Guardiola’s office at the training complex has since been handed over to the new manager, drawing a symbolic line under nearly a decade of dominance.

No word yet on pricing or how supporters can register interest, but for fans who lived through the Pep Guardiola years, the appeal of owning something so ordinary from such an extraordinary period may be appealing.
