Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

[Gordyola]

They play like they have a CEO masquerading as a DoF!

It was Nicky Butt for a while wasn’t it? Then Darren Fletcher?

Think Butt was in the youth set up Fletcher had some type of technical role In any case no experience as a DoF

If Pep goes this season.....can I just drop this one ..Klopp

Rodri could job shadow Txiki too during his recuperation. He’s going to be big in football for years, if he wishes.

BBC running the story claiming no City fan ever expected this to happen and will be in shock ffs …. Known this was happening for over 12 months fucking wankers

When Manchester City fans displayed a banner at Etihad Stadium on Saturday pleading for their adored manager Pep Guardiola to stay, they probably weren't aware his close friend, ally and director of football Txiki Begiristain would be leaving the club this summer.

What banner were they expecting, this one?

So Bingo does a year at red bull then our new DoF ?

When you look at what the brief for just what a DoF/Sporting Director does it's huge and encompasses pretty much every aspect of the footballing side of the club both on and off the pitch.

One man can't possibly be entirely and solely responsible for all those different elements and must surely require quite a large team of support staff with specific roles and duties all reporting to the DoF.

What I'm getting around to saying is, is that one individual really that crucial as long as the structure and support staff remain in place?

He’s the director of it. He directs others to do it to the standards he sets them, and that includes Pep.

Zizou

That would be interesting. Pep working with Zidane. They seem to have big respect for each other. Both speak Spanish also as zidane doesnt speak English
