Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, shared a heartfelt message after managing his final match last night.
Pep Guardiola, manager of the "Sky Blues" Manchester City, confirmed that he gave his all to the club over 10 years, expressing thanks for the love from fans and everyone associated with the club after managing the Sky Blues in his last game, a 1-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the English Premier League’s 2025-26 season finale on Sunday night.
Guardiola said, "I leave with an incredible sense of peace. I gave everything. We went through both good and bad times, which are part of sports. I felt a lot of love. That is the truth."
"I am someone who likes to move on. At Barcelona, one of the greatest teams ever, I moved on. Then Bayern, I moved on. As a player, I went to Mexico and Italy. Spending 10 years here, I developed an incredible bond with the people in the club. That is the most important thing. The Manchester City chairman is one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life."
"I told my 95-year-old father that no matter what happens, even if he has to come in a wheelchair, I want him to see how much people love their son. I’m a father, and one day I want my son and two daughters to feel what I have felt from the people in Manchester. This is the best gift."
"Thank you very much to everyone."
