Pep Guardiola to step down as Manchester City manager after trophy-laden decade
Pep Guardiola will bring his storied decade as manager of Manchester City to an end this weekend, the club announced on Friday.
“Deep inside, I know it’s my time,” said Guardiola, who will take charge for the final time against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Guardiola, who took charge of City in 2016, has won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, five League Cups and the Champions League, but his side have not won the league in two years.

“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,” the manager said in a statement.
“We worked. We suffered. We fought. And we did things our own way. Our way.”
Although City sealed the domestic cup double, Guardiola saw his dreams of a seventh Premier League crown dashed when they drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday to hand Arsenal the title.
