Manchester City have officially announced the departure of manager Pep Guardiola and his entire support staff at the end of the current season, bringing the curtain down on one of the most successful periods in the English club’s history after 10 years full of titles and achievements.
Mass departure
Along with Guardiola, his assistants Pep Linders and Kolo Toure will leave, in addition to fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura, technical adviser Manel Estiarten and goalkeeping coach Xavi Mancisidore.
Official announcement
“We confirm the departure of Pep Linders, Kolo Toure, Lorenzo Buenaventura, Manel Estiarte and Xavi Mancisidore at the end of the 2025-2026 season. Everyone at Manchester City would like to thank these five members for their efforts and dedication and wish them all the best for the future.”
End of a historical era
Guardiola’s departure marks the end of a golden era that Manchester City enjoyed under the Spanish manager, who managed to transform the team into a dominant footballing force domestically and on the continent throughout the decade, winning a number of Premier League titles, the Champions League and other domestic competitions.
Guardiola arrived at the Etihad Stadium after successful spells with Barcelona and Bayern Munich before writing a new historic chapter with Manchester City, making him one of the greatest managers in the history of the game.
