Guardiola bids farewell to Manchester City, but remains confident the team's future will continue to be successful.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola officially ended his ten-year tenure at the club on Sunday.

Despite a 1-2 home defeat to Aston Villa in his farewell match for Manchester City, Guardiola still led the team to the FA Cup and League Cup titles this season , and finished as runners-up in the Premier League. Over the past decade, he has brought Manchester City a total of 20 trophies.

In his final press conference before leaving the club, Guardiola emphasized that he had great confidence in Manchester City's future when he departed, believing that the club was in the best position to continue its success and that the management would provide unconditional support to his successor.

When asked why he was so confident about Manchester City's future, Guardiola said: "Because they are determined and very clear about what they want to do. They fully understand that the opponents here and in Europe are extremely tough. No trophy we have won has been taken for granted."

At the same time, Guardiola also offered advice to Manchester City fans and the future manager. He said, "The only thing I want to say to the fans is to enjoy every step you take, don't wait until you win the Champions League to be happy, enjoy the process."

“When the club tells me who my successor is, I will call him. I will tell him: Be yourself. In bad times, you will be more protected than at any other club. Everything will be alright.”
