Everything you need to know about the new Pep Guardiola documentary:
Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola called time on his 10-year stay at the Etihad Stadium last month, adding another FA and Carabao Cup to his impressive CV.
On Monday, City announced that a new documentary series charting the final two seasons of Guardiola's time at the club, will be coming soon to Amazon Prime.
The series will span four episodes and starts as City's record-breaking 26-game unbeaten run comes to an end with a string of defeats in late 2024. Focus then shifts to the boardroom as the club initiates a major rebuild, with Kevin De Bruyne's emotional departure and the arrival of new talent. Finally, the series culminates with the climax of last season, a pivotal clash with Arsenal, the FA Cup final, and Guardiola's emotional farewell.
No exact release date has been confirmed for the series but it is expected to be available either this month or next.
The series is billed as 'the ultimate account of an emotional farewell that marks the end of an era' and shall be directed by Academy and BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald alongside City Studios’ John De Caux and produced by Kevin Macdonald for Plan B/KM Films, and Gavin Johnson and Ged Doherty for City Studios.
Reflecting on the documentary, Media Director at City Football Group Gavin Johnson promised fans that this will be their best production yet. "We’re incredibly proud to be announcing this documentary series today that offers a new insight to Manchester City and surpasses the scale of other documentaries we’ve done before," he said. "It wouldn’t be achievable without the hard work, trust and collaboration that our City Studios’ embedded crew have built over the last few years with the players, manager, football staff and club executives. It has been fantastic to work with Kevin MacDonald and Plan B/KM Films on this series and it is great endorsement for the level of our productions that we are now able to gain interest and recognition from those at the very top of the industry. We hope Manchester City fans and sports documentary enthusiasts enjoy the series."
