Coach Pep Guardiola donated all his treble bonus to the logistics staff at Man City.
According to the British newspaper Telegraph on June 14, the number of people who received gifts included security staff or receptionists. After the treble, Man City awarded each player about 800,000 USD. Guardiola received a similar amount, or a little more.
Guardiola's actions have received public support, adding to the success he has had with Man City since arriving in the 2016-2017 season. After seven years, he has won 14 titles, including: five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, two Community Shields and one Champions League.

Last season was a historic one for Man City, as they won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup at the same time. They became the second English team and the eighth in Europe to win the treble, after Celtic, Ajax, PSV, Man Utd, Barca, Inter and Bayern. The Etihad Stadium owner is also the sixth English team to win the European Cup, after Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
Guardiola has won two trebles, the first in 2008-09 with Barca. He also won his third Champions League, after two with Barca. Two other coaches, Liverpool's Bob Paisley and Real's Zinedine Zidane, have also won three European titles, while Carlo Ancelotti leads the way with four.
The City players spent four days celebrating the victory. Some then returned to their national teams for matches. City will regroup in mid-July. Next season, they will open with the Community Shield against Arsenal on August 6.
Several stars could also leave Man City in the summer transfer window. Captain Ilkay Gundogan has not signed a new contract, while Bernardo Silva could move to Barca or PSG. Meanwhile, Man City are targeting Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic and Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol.
