However, a new video has appeared online showing that Guardiola isn't always happy to hand out his autograph to fans.
The video, originally shared on TikTok, shows the 53-year-old lashing out at autograph hunters who are hoping to get the manager to sign merchandise that they can then sell to fans online.
In the viral clip, which is said to have been filmed over the summer, Guardiola warns: "Don't come again, I won't tell you again, I know your faces.

"Go to school and prepare yourself guys. You are young guys so don't be here, wasting time"
"Do you want to live your life doing this honestly," he added.
One of the men then replied: "No, I used to be a chef."
Leading to Guardiola adding: "Let's continue to do it. Prepare better. F****** hell man, this isn't for all the people this is for you.

"What are your dreams? Tell me, what is it? Where do you dream my friend? Practice, f***ing hell, practice."
Despite making his feelings about it known, the City boss decides to sign the merchandise but makes it clear he will not be doing it again for these autograph hunters.
After the clip went viral online, City fan account City Xtra revealed that the autograph hunters waited for Guardiola in a car parking facility close to his apartment building, preventing him from going to his car to drive to training.

And Guardiola isn't the only man in Manchester concerned about the rise of autograph hunters, as as report from The Daily Mail last month revealed that Manchester United are becoming increasingly angered by the issue.
The report claims that groups regularly wait for players outside both groups Old Trafford and the club’s Carrington training ground, and have even started showing up at Stockport train station, which is often used when United travel to away games in London.
