Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola requests players to stop eating out with WAGS after games… and no pizza in the dressing room

PEP Guardiola will ask his Manchester City squad to stop eating out with their wives after games next season – and to stop eating junk food in the dressing room.

The ex-Bayern Munich boss will insist on his City players eating together at the Etihad at least one hour after a match.

He will try to stop his stars from having dinner with their WAGS and ban them from snacking on pizza at homes games, which was common under Manuel Pellegrini.

Guardiola installed the same strict rules at Bayern and Barcelona and brought in his own nutrition expert to check on the player’s diet.

A City source revealed: “He will want the squad to eat at the Etihad after games.

“He thinks it is vital for them to eat within one hour of games and even if it means telling the WAGS no dinner out tonight.

“That won’t go down too well with some of them. They usually eat pizza in the dressing room.”

Guardiola will also have his players in for double training sessions over the coming week ahead of their pre-season tour.

City fly out to Germany then China and he wants to make sure they are in top shape ahead of their first match against old club Bayern on July 20.

Guardiola faces his first competitive match against Sunderland on the opening day of the new Premier League season, August 13.

Last week, we told how he has been reading up on the history of his new club and is a huge fan of Brit pop group Coldplay.

He has been watching and reading about City’s long history to know the full ins-and-outs of the Manchester club.
