EPL: The Real Reason I Decided to Leave Man City – Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has said he is leaving Manchester City because he feels he is “running out of energy,” a comparison he draws to Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp departed Liverpool in the summer of 2024, and Guardiola announced his own exit today after only ten days in the role.

He told reporters, “I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left. I am running out of energy.”

“I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day,” he added.

“It’s been 10 years. This job is every three days for many, many years. Selhurst Park, Anfield, Madrid, and Madrid… now I have to live my life.”

“Ten years is a lot of time. I think the club needs a new manager, new energy. With these incredible players we have right now, we can start to write another chapter.”
