An exclusive, unique auction where fans and collectors have the chance to own pieces of history from one of the top managers of the Premier League era has launched. Run by MatchWornShirt (MWS), the auction will feature a selection of items connected to Manchester City’s former manager, Pep Guardiola, during his time at the football club.
What items will feature in the auction?
From 12pm on 20th July, three auctions will go live simultaneously, offering the public direct access to the artefacts. The first is the contents of Pep’s own office at the Manchester City training complex, the private space from which he plotted title after title.
The collection is a unique assortment of items connected to Pep Guardiola, among the most personal items ever brought to auction. Highlights include:
- Pep’s manager’s jacket
- His handwritten notes
- Signed Pep #10 shirt
- His office chair
- Haaland’s 100th goal commemoration ball
Alongside them sits a run of framed photographs from Manuel Estiarte and Pep Lijnders to Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush, as well as signed photo sets, his coffee cup collection, and personal trinkets from the desk itself.
The second auction will offer a collection of Pep’s worn training gear, while the third presents framed Manchester City goal nets, one for each of the 20 trophies Guardiola lifted with the club, presented across three distinctive designs. It’s a tribute in silverware form, twenty pieces of history, each one cut from the nets that caught the goals which led to Manchester City’s success.
