Pep Guardiola has officially announced that he will step down as manager of Manchester City F.C. after 10 years in charge.
The Spaniard confirmed his decision in a statement released on Friday.
“And what a time we have had together,” Guardiola said.
“Don’t ask me the reasons I’m leaving.
“There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it’s my time.”
Despite having one year remaining on his contract, Guardiola will leave the Etihad at the end of the season.
The 55-year-old secured a domestic cup double in his final season, although City fell short in the Premier League title race following a 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
During his decade-long spell, Guardiola guided City to 20 trophies, including six league titles and the UEFA Champions League crown.
