Pep Guardiola is arguably the best manager of the modern era of football. A serial winner who has won everywhere he has gone, Pep is often credited with changing the way football is played.
For all the excellence on the field, Pep is equally infamous for being an annoying character off it.
Pep is often seen arguing with referees, shouting at the linesman, beefing with fans, using unconventional means to rile up his players, and once even debating with an empty dugout in an FA cup game.
The Manchester City boss has a mixed record against cameramen. Pep, who has a knack for getting caught in the most meme-able moments, often ends up going 1v1 against the cameramen for one reason or the other.
For all the times they’ve helped bring positivity his way by turning him into a meme, they have also got in his way directly, much to the ire of Pep and his short fuse.
Almost one year ago, after a 3-2 victory against Fulham, Pep was walking to the center circle to shake hands with the officials but the cameraman got in his way, resulting in Pep staring right into the cameraman’s soul.

Similarly, against the same opponents, Fulham in 2022, Pep Guardiola pushed the camera away after the whistle as Man City secured a late 2-1 victory after being frustrated for most of the match.
A few weeks back, Pep made the headlines after a series of notorious incidents against Newcastle United where he was seen repeatedly punching his dugout seat, arguing with the refs, fighting with Newcastle players Joelinton and captain Bruno Guimaraes, and then beefing with the cameraman for capturing the argument.
Now, Pep Guardiola is at it again, this time beefing with another cameraman.
Manchester City prevailed against Nottingham Forest, getting a narrow 2-1 victory after a late Cherki winner to keep pace with Arsenal in the title race.
After the match, Pep Guardiola approached the away end to applaud and thank the traveling Manchester City fans for their support, when a camera focused on Pep. Initially, he looked intensely into the camera before he jokingly indicated that he wanted the cameraman gone.
