Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has finally confirmed his departure from the Premier League club.

The Spaniard announced this in a statement on Friday, saying, “And what a time we have had together.”

“Don’t ask me the reasons I’m leaving. There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it’s my time.”

Guardiola will depart the Etihad after a decade, even though he has one year left on his current contract.

The 55-year-old won a cup double in his final campaign, but he missed out on the Premier League title after City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.

During his 10 years at City, he won 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
