WATCH: A Young Pep Guardiola Shows Off Slick Dance Moves To Iconic ‘Grease’ Soundtrack

Coaching is one of the toughest jobs in all of football, with huge risks and very few rewards. As a result, very few managers manage to stay at the top of the game for years, but former Barcelona player Pep Guardiola is one in a million and his Manchester City side are one of the best in the world.

They have one of the best teams in the world, with world-class players in every position. City’s near-endless transfer kitten helped Guardiola shape the team, but his genius lifted them into the dominant force they have become domestically.

The young Guardiola has crazy dance moves

Pep Guardiola started his career at FC Barcelona as a young player and spent 13 years at the club. He made his club debut aged 19, and just 11 years after the release of Grease, an American romantic musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

A video has surfaced of Guardiola dancing to the Grease soundtrack when he was just starting out in his youth. He’s having fun and he’s frankly a very good dancer.

Pep Guardiola and his conquering Manchester City team

Guardiola had already reached the pinnacle of club football in his third year as manager, in 2009. He won the treble with FC Barcelona and then won the UEFA Champions League and La Liga again in 2011. He then joined Bayern Munich, establishing domestic dominance there before eventually moving to Manchester City in 2016.

After a trophyless first season, Guardiola’s City won the league three times and achieved a domestic treble in 2018-19. They are on course to win the Premier League again this season, but it is the UCL title they are chasing.

City lost to Chelsea in the UCL final last season and Guardiola will do his best to change the narrative and win it once and for all this season. It will be interesting to see if that finally happens, but the odds are very high.
