Manchester City’s long-serving sporting director to leave the club at the end of the season
Manchester City is bracing for significant changes as long-time sporting director Txiki Begiristain is set to leave the club at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Details: According to Sport.es, Begiristain has decided that his time with the "Citizens" has come to an end. The Manchester City management supports his decision. He has been with the English club since the 2012/13 season, joining with a clear intent to transform the "Citizens" into a winning team.
Amidst rumors of Begiristain's departure, Pep Guardiola's future at Manchester City appears increasingly uncertain. Guardiola has a strong relationship with the sporting director, and this could signal his choice not to extend his contract with the "Citizens," which expires in the summer of 2025.
Reminder: Manchester City is currently involved in several high-profile legal battles, and in one of these cases, the club's lawyers managed to secure a victory against the English Premier League.
Manchester City is also currently facing a separate case involving 115 alleged breaches of financial fair play regulations. Hearings for this case began on September 16, with a verdict expected by spring 2025.
