It is alleged that manager Pep Guardiola, who took charge of Manchester City in 2016, has given approximately 60-70 staff members at the club a bonus of around 10,000 pounds each.
Guardiola, who has also managed Barcelona and Bayern Munich, has been responsible for a large part of City's success in the Premier League. While the club has become league champions for four consecutive seasons, their victory in the 2022-23 season was part of a historic treble.
Making a fast start to the new season, City won their first two matches, signaling their intent for a fifth consecutive title. However, Guardiola continues to make his impact felt not only on the pitch but also within the club.
According to the claims, Guardiola gifted a five-figure sum to every single employee working at City's first-team base. It is stated that this gesture covers a wide range of staff, from chefs to receptionists and security personnel.
According to a report by Sözcü, it is also emphasized that a separate fund is created for staff every season. This news follows Guardiola's comments at the end of last season, where he stated, “Throughout these years, as players, club, staff, backroom staff, we have all been in perfect harmony.”
