By: Marti Perarnau

Narrated by: Thomas Judd

Length: 11 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's 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.

This is not from Pep

This is a good book, with great detail, and depth about Pep. Though it is made clear not directly from Pep. I very much so, highly encourage reading anyways. Well done!

The narrator was great. The information was beyond exceptional. A great book for anyone that coaches any sport with any passion about your craft.

I will definitely listen to the book again.

Total story. Total football. Total Pep.

If you think you understand football, management, professional sports you'll be blown away regardless. This book beautiful illustrates what Guardiola and his team's are all about. You want a behind the scenes look, you've got it! You want a look into pre- intra- and/or post-match or training details, you've got it! You want tactics, strategy, systems used by Pep and his men, you're covered. All of this and much more written in a style that keeps you wanting more. I blew threw the book in 3 days thanks to the audible edition and am planning to re read the entire book in print and take notes. Phenomenal! Absolutely, fucking brilliant.
