22 May
Summary
- Pep Guardiola will depart Manchester City at the end of the current season.
- He led the club to six Premier League titles and a Champions League win.
- Guardiola will transition to a global ambassador role post-management.
Pep Guardiola announced his departure from Manchester City, concluding a decade-long, highly successful managerial spell. He stated that the decision comes from an internal feeling that it is his time to move on, emphasizing that nothing lasts forever.
His tenure, which began in 2016, saw Manchester City achieve unprecedented success, including six Premier League titles and their maiden UEFA Champions League crown in 2023. He amassed a total of 17 major trophies with the club, including recent League Cup and FA Cup victories.
Following his exit from the dugout, Guardiola will assume the role of global ambassador for Manchester City. The club is reportedly considering Enzo Maresca, who previously served as Guardiola's assistant, as a primary candidate to replace him.
Guardiola's influence extends beyond trophies, shaping English football with his possession-based style. His managerial career, spanning Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, has yielded 35 major titles.
