Who is Pere Guardiola? The agent of Luis Suarez, brother Pep & part owner of Girona

Football runs in certain families, and it should come as no shock whatsoever that Pep Guardiola, one of the most talented coaches of his generation, comes from such stock.

Pere Guardiola may not be as extensively known as his Manchester City-managing brother, but he has been quietly making his way successfully in the footballing world as an agent, having previously been employed within Nike’s Sports Marketing department, where he worked with Barcelona, Spanish national team players and Brazilian duo Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, among others.

Now an intermediary, he unsurprisingly looks after the affairs of his elder sibling while he also boasts Barcelona striker Luis Suarez as the most famous client of his Media Base Sports agency.
