Pep Guardiola

Manchester City’s head coach, Pep Guardiola, has thrown his support behind his star midfielder, Rodri, for the prestigious 2024 Ballon d’Or award. The Spanish international, instrumental in City’s success, is in contention alongside football giants like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham.

Guardiola, known for his meticulous approach to the game, believes Rodri’s consistent performances over the past seasons, including his pivotal role in City’s Premier League triumph and Spain’s victory at the Euros, make him a deserving candidate for the award.

He acknowledged the fierce competition, noting that other players enjoyed outstanding seasons. However, Guardiola emphasized the significance of Rodri even being in contention, reflecting the collective achievements of Manchester City.
