Pep Guardiola gifts six-figure bonus for winning the Premier League to Man City staff
Pep Guardiola donates his six-figure bonus for winning the Premier League to Man City’s staff – including receptionists and security – to thank them for contributing to the club’s success
- The bonus is worth up to £750,000 and Guardiola has handed over his share
- He has frequently spoken of his gratitude to city staff behind the scenes
- City are still unsure about Ilkay Gundogan’s future as his contract expires
Pep Guardiola has gifted his six-figure bonus for winning the Premier League to some Manchester City staffers.
The exact amount has been kept secret, but some of the club’s senior stars earn bonuses of up to £750,000 included in their contracts and Guardiola’s is likely to be around that amount.
Always keen to emphasize the importance of the entire staff in City’s recent triumphs, Guardiola decided to make a donation to a significant number of employees.
They are believed to include receptionists and security staff who would have played a part in this season’s historic success, culminating in securing the Treble by beating Inter in Saturday’s Champions League final.
The manager, who has been at the center of City’s festivities this week, is a hugely popular figure among staff and his latest act of generosity will greatly increase the value of bonuses already handed out to those behind the scenes.

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is expected to give a club interview reflecting on the season and its future, which may be released sometime next week.
Guardiola will already be making plans for next season, with RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol high on the agenda and Croatian teammate Mateo Kovacic hoping to move from Chelsea.
City must figure out captain Ilkay Gundogan’s plans, with a new contract on the table but rival interest from Barcelona, who can pick him up on a free transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain are also showing interest in Bernardo Silva, who begged Jack Grealish during Monday’s victory parade to stay at the club.
