During his 10-year tenure, Guardiola led the club to an impressive 20 trophy wins, including six Premier League titles, the Champions League, three FA Cups, and five Carabao Cups. The 55-year-old manager stated that while there is no specific reason for his departure, he feels it is 'his time' to move on, despite his contract initially being set to expire in 2027. He added: “Don’t ask me the reasons I’m leaving. There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it’s my time. Nothing is eternal, if it was, I would be here. Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester City.”Key achievements under his leadership include the historic 2023 treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, a domestic treble in 2019, and a record-breaking 100-point league campaign in 2018. Following his departure from the managerial role, Guardiola will take on a new position as a global ambassador for the City Football Group, with his former assistant Enzo Maresca currently considered the favourite to succeed him.
