IN October 2014, we will co-publish with Arena Sport Pep Confidential: Inside Guardiola’s first season at Bayern Munich, by Spanish journalist Martí Perarnau.
You might have read ‘insider accounts’ before. But not like this. This is unlimited access to one of the biggest clubs in the world, granted by one of the best coaches in the world.
In an exclusive extract from the book, Perarnau explains it in his own words.
Essentially I will be spending months at the heart of this elite team with complete access to an enormous amount of internal information. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the champions of Europe and the most successful coach of the decade would grant me such a privilege. Pep only asks for one thing in return: my total discretion during the season.
“You can write about everything you see and be as critical as you like in the book, but during the season please don’t talk to the outside world about what you witness inside.”
