PEP GUARDIOLA has reportedly donated his SIX-FIGURE BONUS to Manchester City staff.
The Spaniard, 52, clinched the Treble on Saturday as he led his side to a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
But prior to that he had already secured a huge bonus for winning the Premier League title – his fifth in six seasons.
According to The Mail, that financial boost is thought to be in the region of £750,000.

They include receptionists and security staff.

Man City have become just the second English side in history to win the Treble after neighbours Manchester United achieved the feat in 1999.
The ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich head coach is reportedly set to leave the club when his contract expires in 2025.

“Come on! They finish the Premier League what? Two-three weeks ago? Then holiday and then they come back for too many games?
“These guys will have two or three weeks off and have to start again next season. We demand and we push them – it’s too much.”
