🚨 Official: Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City! | OneFootball

A page in football history is being turned.

It had been in the works for several days, and now it’s official: Pep Guardiola is leaving Manchester City at the end of the 2025-2026 season!

The English club has just confirmed the departure of its legend.

"What unforgettable moments we have shared! Don’t ask me why I’m leaving. There is no particular reason, but deep down, I know the time has come. Nothing lasts forever, otherwise I would still be here. What will remain forever are the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester City," Pep Guardiola explained in his farewell video.

Having joined the club in 2016, Guardiola took charge of more than 550 matches in ten years, becoming a true legend of the club and of English football.

The former FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager won 20 trophies with City: six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Intercontinental Cup and, above all, the crowning achievement, the 2023 Champions League.

His epic long-distance duel with Jürgen Klopp, in particular, will have left its mark on hearts and on the recent history of European football.

His future is not yet known.

Enzo Maresca, for his part, is expected to succeed him on the Manchester City bench.
