‘Don’t come again.. I know your faces’ – Man City boss Pep Guardiola tells autograph-hunters to ‘live your life’
MANCHESTER CITY manager Pep Guardiola went viral after being caught on camera lambasting professional autograph hunters.
Guardiola, 53, has endured a turbulent campaign as the defending Premier League champions have slipped down to sixth place in the table with leaders Liverpool 12 points ahead and a game in hand.
However, it appears that hasn’t stopped some opportunists looking to make an easy living by selling merchandise signed by the Catalan tactician.
A viral clip has made the rounds showing the ex-Barcelona boss apparently confronting some of them.
A group of young people ask the former Bayern Munich manager to sign a few items.
The Man City boss appeared to agree to sign some items, but was recorded scolding them for their career choice and warned them to never come back.
Guardiola said: “Don’t come again, I won’t tell you again. I know your faces.
“Go to school and prepare yourselves, you don’t want to be here to waste your time.
“Honestly, you want to spend the rest of your lives doing this? F*****g hell!”
The clip attracted immense viewership across Twitter and TikTok with fans praising Guardiola’s reaction.
One fan tweeted: “Nothing wrong here. Basically telling youngsters to sort out their lives and do something more important but better. As any father would really.”
Another commented: “He’s cooking.”
A third wrote: “Pep is spot on.”
This fan said: “They got schooled!”
And that one stated: “Fair play to Pep!”
A Man City shirt signed by Pep Guardiola can sell for in excess of £500.
