EPL: Guardiola says it’s time to leave Man City, reveals his next move

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has announced that it is the appropriate time for him to depart the Premier League club.

He oversaw his final match on Sunday, a 2‑1 home loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The 55‑year‑old said he will now take a break to rest and concentrate on his family.

Guardiola also expressed gratitude to the club’s leadership for supporting his decision to leave after a decade.

“It is the right time. I will not miss it for a while, that’s for sure,” he said. “I feel deeply that the decision is the right decision for this club and the players. I thank the club for respecting it, they understood.”

During his tenure at the Etihad, Guardiola secured six Premier League titles, one Champions League, three FA Cups, and five League Cups.
