Pep Guardiola to leave Manchester City after ten years

Pep Guardiola announced his departure from Manchester City, ending a decade at the Etihad Stadium. He said he is satisfied and happy with his time at the club and will not train for a while.

The manager’s departure closes a chapter defined by sustained excellence. Guardiola’s next steps remain undefined, as he has indicated he will not be involved in training for some time. He left open the possibility of future projects after his break. The club will now look to appoint a successor. Manchester City supporters and the broader football community will watch closely as the club navigates the post‑Guardiola era.
