Pep Guardiola Net Worth 2023

According to celebritynetworth.com, Guardiola’s current net worth is $40 million, which is just over £30 million, give or take a few hundred thousand pounds given the current fluctuating exchange rates. While this figure is obviously huge, it might be somewhat surprising to some given his position and stature in the game. It must be remembered that Guardiola played before the true financial boom in football, and his salaries at Barca and Bayern were not at the same level as his earnings at City. Tax is also a significant factor here.

What is Pep’s current salary at Manchester City?

Per The Guardian, Guardiola currently pockets a whopping £20 million per year at City. Breaking this down, that is just under £385,000 thousand pounds a week, which puts him in the same wage bracket as the top earning players in the league.

How many trophies did Guardiola win as a player?

It is sometimes forgotten that Guardiola was a truly great player, given his impact as a manager in the last 15 years. However, he was an integral part of Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona “Dream Team” alongside the likes of Romario, Michael Laudrup and Ronald Koeman et al., who conquered both Spain and Europe in the early 1990s.

He won six La Liga titles, including four in a row from 1990/91 to 1993/94 under Cruyff and then another back-to-back in 1997/98 and 1998/99 when Louis van Gaal was the boss at the Nou Camp. He was also part of Barca's first European Cup-winning side in 1991/92. With these influences, it is little wonder he became a manager. In total, he won 17 trophies as a player, 16 with Barca and a gold medal with Spain at the 1992 Olympics, which were held in Barcelona, via Transfermarkt.

How many trophies has Guardiola won as a manager?

His 17 trophies as a player have not only been topped as a gaffer, but near doubled with 32 honours to his name so far (including several Community Shields and their Spanish equivalent), via Transfermarkt. As mentioned, his time at Barcelona saw him build one of the all-time great sides, and one that dominated both domestic and international competition in his four years in charge. His first season (2008/09) saw him capture the club’s first-ever treble of La Liga, Champions League and Spanish Cup.

Another two La Liga titles came in the next two seasons, bringing the Catalans their first threepeat since his days as a player 20 years prior. 2011 was the apex of his reign, as a second Champions League title came, again defeating Manchester United in the final. It has been called the best club performance of recent times. A second Spanish Cup came in his final season (2011/12) where he finally ceded the title to Jose Mourinho (who was an assistant to van Gaal when Guardiola was a player).He took a year-long sabbatical before taking the hot seat at Bayern Munich in 2013. His three years in Bavaria saw him win the Bundesliga every season, as well as two German Cups. He failed to land the Champions League, or even make a final in his time with the club, which was a blot on the copybook.

He swapped Munich for Manchester in 2016, where he of course remains to this day. His six seasons to date have seen him bring City to unparalleled success in their history, with four Premier League titles, four League Cups and a single FA Cup to date. He has won a domestic treble (2018/19) and hit 100 points the season prior, but has yet to win the Champions League with them, which is the holy grail for the club at this stage.
