Guardiola’s City Exit Explained by Reijnders

Pep Guardiola has ended his ten‑year tenure at Manchester City. The Catalan coach leaves after a period packed with trophies, ready for a new challenge.

The real reasons behind his departure were revealed by Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who spent the last season on loan at City. Reijnders described Guardiola as "an extremely intense football genius" and lamented that they only managed to work together for one season.

He added that the decision was entirely Guardiola’s, with the manager eyeing fresh opportunities, including a possible national team role such as England. Reijnders also noted that he did not receive the playing minutes he expected, which contributed to the overall context of the exit.
