Manchester City have confirmed that Pep Guardiola will be stepping down as manager at the end of the season
The Catalan, who joined City in July 2016, has had a transformative effect during his ten years in charge, and will leave having won 20 major trophies – making him the most successful Manager in our history.
Despite his departure as Manager of Manchester City, Pep will continue his relationship with the City Football Group, by taking up a role as a Global Ambassador.
The role will see him giving technical advice to the clubs in the group, working on specific projects and collaborations.
The City manager said:
“Don’t ask me the reasons I’m leaving. There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it’s my time”.
“Nothing is eternal, if it was, I would be here. Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester City”.
He added that:
“We worked. We suffered. We fought. And we did things our own way. Our way… So as my time comes to an end, be happy. Oasis are back again”.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for trusting me. Thank you for pushing me. Thank you for loving me…”.
