Manchester City are dreaming of a dynasty like Arsenal's but Pep Guardiola says he'll quit long before that

Golf is Pep Guardiola's preferred method of relaxation. A genuine enthusiast and talented single-handicapper, he likes to rise early in the morning and head to the driving range to practise without distraction.

When the weather gets warmer, he will swap the range for the golf course but still does not mind if it is a solitary activity. Friends start to worry when he does not have any time for golf: it means his dedication to the day job is at the expense of everything else in his life.

Guardiola has always been a uniquely intense and driven individual and nothing in his first six months at Manchester City suggests he has changed.
