Pep to leave at the end of the season

Pretty much a full reset. Interesting times ahead.

This is the only way forward after Pep ? You can not have somebody who worked with the Pep system and fully backs the new manager's ideas, What I hope is that the board and the football director have a clean sheet of paper to work from and the new manager is given the pen

Look, football in england and the Premier League has changed and that's down to Pep alone, but football and other clubs find a way to play and win and be very successful,

The one single thing that money doesn't buy or you can replace, will be the fear factor that Pep had on others
You have to earn that, the result and the legacy bring respect

Manchester City are now a major club and will still fight for the big honours and cups, We will still be a soap opera club full of drama because it's in our DNA

Interesting everybody going, although it does often happen when a coach/manager leaves.
This could be a few years as top six normalcy or a rejuvenation leading to another period of dominance. Let's hope it's the latter.

Could go either way this. Didnt Moyes get rid of all of Slur Alex's back room staff en masse also? That went well.....

Beautiful sentiments from @Pep Guardiola’s daughter Maria, on Instagram:

“papi ♥️

We blinked and it’s been 10 years. 10 seasons. Hundreds of away games, trips to Wembley, too many Bernabeu nights, and millions of memories.

Football was never just a sport. It decided where we lived, how often we moved, the languages we learned, the friends we made and the emotions we felt.

From as long as I can remember it was football stadiums. Moving to Doha, Mexico, Rome, Brescia, Barcelona, New York, Munich and Manchester.
Thank you for giving us a childhood built around sport, something so rare and special.

We moved again, for the 8th time in 14 years. Manchester is very hard to put into words. You changed the most respected league in the world. You achieved things and broke records that may never be repeated. And we got to experience all of it from the closest seat possible.

The happiest and saddest tears came from football, because watching you live every second so intensely made us feel everything with you. Those 90 minutes where the world feels like it stops.

We think people forget quickly because football moves fast and a new season always starts. But as time passes, we’ll realise just how impossible those numbers really are. 41 trophies in 16 years.

Years from now people will talk about football and try to explain what this era felt like, they’ll talk about your teams, the way they made people feel. Because beyond the trophies, you gave us memories we escaped real life for.

It has been a privilege to watch and support you for almost 25 years. Thank you for always bringing us close to everything, for including us in it all. The biggest privilege has been to live it all beside you.

As citizens, football fans and rivals we will miss seeing you on our screens every week. Because without realising it there is a final match, a final whistle. And none of us are ever really ready for that moment.

Thank you papi and mami, the beautiful things in our lives always trace back to this game.

For the world these were historic football moments, for us they were family memories, and I don’t think any of us realised while living it, that we were inside football history.

And that stays long after the final whistle ♥️”

Agree with every word. I'm looking forward to it.
 
Come on guys!!! It takes hours of planning for the set piece coach to orchestrate those two yard short corners before giving the ball away and getting caught on the break. Truly an artform they have perfected.

I'm sure the fucker is still on the dipper's payroll.
 
Manchester City can confirm the departures of five members of the Club’s backroom staff following the completion of the 2025/26 season.
Pep Lijnders, Kolo Toure, Lorenzo Buenaventura, Manel Estiarte and Xabi Mancisidor will all leave the Club.


EDIT: Just finished work and now realise that all of this has already been said!
