Pep Guardiola to step down as Manchester City manager this weekend - what to ask a manager that has been asked everything?

Pep Guardiola to step down as Manchester City manager this weekend - what to ask a manager that has been asked everything?

If I could ask Pep Guardiola one last question, what would it be?

It's not something I know the answer to yet despite having months to prepare for the likelihood of him leaving this summer, and now faced with the reality of there being only one final pre-match press conference with the Spaniard as Manchester City manager.

I can't even begin to think about how many questions I've already posed to Pep since his arrival.

Often four press conferences a week around matches, with a fair few sit-down interviews and the very occasional (and very brief) chat when the cameras are off must put the figure in the thousands.

I can be more certain on the number he told me were 'good' questions, though, as I can add them up with the fingers on one hand.

During the last 10 years, I've probed him on almost every subject imaginable, met with varying degrees of success, and there were plenty of occasions when he was happy to show his irritation at my line of questioning.

A couple of years into his tenure Man City agreed we could use our 'host broadcast' access to get a live interview with Pep straight after the press conference, and I remember distinctly one occasion where he asked the press officer whether he could just not do it and take the fine instead (even though it would have cost him around £20,000).
