Pep Guardiola won in zijn vaderland als coach van FC Barcelona vele prijzen. Op zijn hoogtepunt laste hij een sabbatical in om daarna onverwacht coach van FC Bayern München te worden. In Duitsland wordt Guardiola inmiddels op handen gedragen. Als groot tacticus maakte hij gelouterde profs als Robben, Neuer, Schweinsteiger en Lahm beter. Journalist en voetbalanalyticus Marti Perarnau mocht Pep gedurende het seizoen 2013-2014 volgen. Thuis, op de club en rond wedstrijden verbleef hij een jaar lang bovenop de club. Hij kreeg toegang tot trainingen, kleedkamers, bestuurskamers en was aanwezig bij normaal besloten meetings als teambesprekingen en individuele gesprekken met spelers, staf en bestuursleden. Het levert een scherp, vlot geschreven en boeiende biografie van een jaar Pep bij Bayern München op. Boeiend van het begin tot het einde waardoor je topvoetbal beter leert begrijpen en de bewondering voor een van de meest revolutionaire en intelligente coaches alleen maar toeneemt. Geweldig boek voor alle voetballiefhebbers. Met een voorwoord van Edwin Winkels, (sport)journalist in Spanje. Met een aantal kleurenfoto’s..
