An ex of Pep Guardiola: from earning 580,000 euros a month to earning 11,500

Many will wonder what happened to Benjamin Mendyformer footballer Manchester City of Pep Guardiola who had to leave the Premier League through the back door three years ago as a result of a controversial episode of sexual assault (seven counts of rape) of which he was finally exonerated. Well, after that shady event that occurred in his mansion in Chesire, Mendy continues playing football, but at another level… The aforementioned extra-sports matter brought him ruin as a footballer.

Mendy today leads a new life in Pogon Szczecin of the Polish Ekstraklasa, the country’s First Division. There he leads a life that has nothing to do with that of the star who earned 580,000 euros a month. Now he earns just over 10,000, which does not allow him to live his previous standard of living. According to ‘The Sun’, neighbors have seen him pushing a shopping cart in a supermarket in the small city of Szczecin, where the 31-year-old Frenchman currently resides.

After leaving City, his time at Lorient and FC Zurich was fleeting, since neither France nor Switzerland forgave him for his antecedents. Already in Pomerania (Poland), Mendy thought that the third time would be the charm. But several injuries and an evident lack of physical fitness have meant that he has barely played. Now that he apparently leads a calmer life, he seems to have left his wild partying behind. They say that the club ‘draws’ more on him as a marketing product than as a footballer.
