Basketball icon Michael Jordan led a star-studded list of tributes as Pep Guardiola bid an emotional farewell to Manchester City after a trophy-laden decade in charge.
Guardiola, 55, announced last week that he would step down as City manager, bringing an end to a remarkable 10-year spell that delivered 20 trophies and transformed the club into one of Europe’s dominant forces.
Around 19,000 supporters gathered at Co-op Live for a farewell celebration packed with surprise appearances, emotional speeches and video tributes.
Jordan appeared on the arena’s big screen with a special message for Guardiola.
