Eamonn Ryan’s special ‘Pep’ talk

‘Pep Confidential’ is the latest addition to Eamonn Ryan’s library.

Describing himself as an “inveterate” bookworm, Ryan simply devoured Guardiola’s take on his first season at Bayern Munich. And while admitting that he’s as likely to be found reading the back of a Cornflakes box or the Collins English Dictionary as he is Easons latest bestseller, the decision to tackle Pep Confidential was driven by an ulterior motive.

At 74-years young and the orchestrator of nine All-Ireland final wins with his latest flock, Ryan still considers himself a “student” of the game. Insight he sought from the two-time Champions League winning manager.
