Two weeks after winning the Champions League with Manchester City, the third in his coaching career after the coronations with Barça (2009, 2011), Pep Guardiola set sail for Egypt.
The Spanish technician went to the land of the Pharaohs. Not to join a local club or take the reins of the selection, but for the holidays. After an XXL season marked by an incredible hat-trick with the Skyblues, the Iberian strategist set foot at Cairo International Airport on Thursday evening with his family, reports the Egyptian daily Al-Masri al-youm. The Guardiolas were greeted by Nisreen Othmanli, Director of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board (OEPT), and members of the board.
