Pep Guardiola has confirmed he will leave Manchester City at the end of the current season, bringing an end to a decade-long tenure at the Etihad Stadium.
The Spanish manager has led the club to numerous titles, including two Premier League crowns, an FA Cup, and multiple League Cups since joining in 2016.
Guardiola's future had been uncertain following Manchester City's FA Cup defeat to Southampton earlier this week, with speculation rife about his potential departure.
However, in a statement released on Thursday, the 52-year-old manager confirmed he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, paving the way for a potentially significant overhaul of the first-team squad.
Manchester City, under Guardiola's stewardship, have become one of the dominant forces in English football, with a significant investment in youth development and scouting contributing to the club's on-field success.
The club is expected to announce a replacement for Guardiola in due course, with various names already being touted for the role.
