Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola was caught on video giving life advice to a group of young autograph seekers, urging them to focus on education and personal growth.

A video clip circulating online shows Pep Guardiola surrounded by a group of young boys who had approached him for autographs. The exact circumstances remain unclear, but speculation suggests the boys might be frequent autograph hunters, potentially looking to profit by reselling signed memorabilia.

Regardless of their intentions, Guardiola took the opportunity to deliver some life advice. The coach, known for his philosophical approach to both football and life, offered guidance that reflected his perspective on personal development.

“Don’t come back, I won’t sign anything for you anymore. I’ve memorized your faces. Go back to school and get ready. You’re still young, don’t waste time,” Guardiola told the group.

He continued, urging them to reconsider their approach to life. “Is this how you want to spend your life? Really? Are you going to do this your whole life? Hell, get better at it. What dreams do you have? Practice!” he added, emphasizing the importance of focusing on goals and self-improvement.

Guardiola’s remarks quickly sparked a reaction online, with many praising his message to the youth. Known for his intense focus and commitment to excellence, the Manchester City coach often highlights the value of hard work, education, and preparation in both football and life. This latest interaction further underscores his belief in nurturing ambition and staying committed to long-term growth rather than short-term gains.
