Pep Guardiola to leave Manchester City at the end of the season

Pep Guardiola announced he will step down as manager of Manchester City at the end of the current season after a decade in charge. Since joining in 2016, he has secured numerous trophies, including six Premier League titles, a Champions League win, and multiple domestic cups. Despite his success, the club has not won the Premier League in the last two years, with Arsenal recently securing the title. Regarding his successor, Guardiola advised that the new manager should be unique rather than a carbon copy of himself, amid reports that Enzo Maresca is the leading candidate. Guardiola also addressed the 115 pending charges of alleged financial rule breaches against the club, expressing his full trust in the administration. While one source states there is no specific reason for his departure, Guardiola emphasized that he believes it is simply his time to leave. He departs ahead of the final league match against Aston Villa.
