Pep Guardiola is once again making headlines, this time for an altercation with fans who asked for his autograph. In a video that has gone viral on social media, the Manchester City manager angrily confronted individuals who appeared to be "autograph hunters," seeking his signature for resale. Guardiola’s response was direct and uncompromising, telling them to never ask for an autograph again.

Such behavior is often seen in the sports world, where some individuals collect autographs from celebrities to sell the signed items at inflated prices. Guardiola was visibly frustrated as he addressed the group, saying, "Don't come again. I won't say it again. I know your faces. Go to school, prepare yourselves; you're young, wasting your time here. Do you want to spend your life doing this? Honestly?" One young fan responded with a firm "no." The Spanish coach, exasperated, retorted, "Damn hell, this is for older men, not for you. What are your dreams? Go for them."
