Dec 14, 2018, by Chris
Update - December 14: Pep Guardiola wore a Puma-branded jacket to Manchester City's Champions League match against Hoffenheim, further confirming that he has indeed joined the brand.
We first reported that Guardiola was wearing Puma boots in training early last month and he has continued doing it since.
It's likely that Puma is just waiting for the official confirmation of the Man City kit deal in order to announce the signing of Guardiola as well.
Read our original story below:
Images from Manchester City's training showing Pep Guardiola wearing Puma soccer cleats suggest that Puma has taken the Manchester City manager under contract.
Pep Guardiola had been sponsored by Adidas when he was Bayern Munich coach. He had no deal with any brand recently. He used Cruyff boots last season. He laced up in the shoes of Man City fashion sponsor Dsquared2 this season.
Pep Guardiola Laces Up In Puma One Football Boots
Pep Guardiola laced up in the brand's Puma One soccer cleats. He wore the black Puma One soccer shoes with white used to outline the famous Puma logo on the outstep.
The Puma Guardiola boot spotting comes amid wide reports that the Premier League champions are set to sign a long-term kit supply deal with Puma, beginning at the start of the 2019-20 season.
Guardiola already laced up in blackout Puma One football boots earlier this season with nobody noticing.
Puma also recently announced the signing of Manchester City midfielder David Silva, who will be wearing Puma One boots. The Spaniard joined Sergio Aguero who is also endorsed by Puma and wearing the Puma One football boot.

FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.

Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
