Summary

For three extraordinary seasons at Bayern Munich, Marti Perarnau was given total access around the German super club - to its players, its backroom staff, its board members and, above all, its manager, Pep Guardiola. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed account of Guardiola's first full season at Bayern, Pep Confidential, Perarnau now lifts the lid on the Catalan's whole tenure in Bavaria.

Pep Guardiola: The Evolution takes the listener on a journey through three action-packed seasons as Bayern smashed domestic records yet struggled to emulate that dominance in Europe, analysing Guardiola's management style through key moments on and off the field. Perarnau reveals how Guardiola improved as a manager at Bayern despite failing to land the ultimate prize in European football, examines his decision to leave Germany to take up the challenge at Manchester City and how his managerial style will continue to evolve in the Premier League.

This is more than the story of three seasons with one of the biggest clubs in the game. It is a portrait and analysis of a manager and the footballing philosophies that have beguiled the world.

It’s boring the voice is boring and no insight to pep or the way he plays his brand of footie.

If you don't like it. You don't get it

As a football coach with an overactive mind, working at a professional football club, yet constantly finding myself at odds with the conventional football wisdom, this book helps me to confirm and evolve my ideas so that I'm able to justify why I disagree with things that hundreds of people view as "the way it is done". I have only met one person in football who I believe challenges convention along with me and we talk constantly about our frustrations.

Frankly. If you don't like this book. You don't get it. And you should coach/watch/talk about football with the rest of the sheep

Some very good ideas behind alot bullshit

The writers relationship with Pep is uncomfortable, as it speaks of Pep in a god like figure, when in reality he has coached great teams with unbelievable resources and top professional players who always want to win.

Some great ideas I have to admit, but again alot of fluff and the ideas amount to 2 or 3 chapters, after that it's a waste of time.

Dissapointing!!!!

Fascinating

Great insight into guardiola's methodology. As good as pep confidential, although a lot less linear

Works well as an audiobook

Would recommend

Having difficulty Sleeping? This is the book for U

there are books I would listen to again for the sheer entertainment value or insight, but sadly this isn't one of them...
At times I found myself wishing it would hurry up & end... & if I'd paid more than the £3. for it in the Sale, i would definitely have returned it.
The flitting between joining City & going straight back to a match day at Munich, the author might've thought this kind of writing keeps things interesting, but I think a straight run through of what took place in date order would've worked much better, even though the content wasn't riveting & didn't really grasp your attention for wanting to hear what happened next.
its basically a fly on the wall reporter writing their version of events..... Pep had no desire to read/listen to what was written in this book himself & that was probably the wise choice!
