ManCity era ends
Farewell! Pep loses long-time companion
An era is coming to an end at Manchester City: sporting director Txiki Begiristain will leave the Premier League giants at the end of the season. Star coach Pep Guardiola is thus losing a long-time companion.
As reported by "The Athletic" and ESPN, Txiki Begiristain will end his involvement with Manchester City after the season. The Spaniard has worked for the club since October 2012. In 2016, he lured Pep Guardiola, with whom he had previously worked at FC Barcelona, to the island.
Guardiola has a lot to thank Begiristain for. "When nobody else wanted to take a risk on me, when maybe three percent of the people at Barca believed in me, he was the one who insisted on signing me for the first team. None of this would have been possible without him," said Pep about the 60-year-old.
The preferred successor
A successor for Begiristain is to be installed at the start of 2025. Hugo Viana from Sporting Lisbon is apparently currently Manchester City's preferred candidate.
