Unexpected. Guardiola returns to Man City
Pep Guardiola is preparing for an emotional reunion with Manchester City.
Details: According to The Times journalist Paul Hirst, Pep Guardiola will attend Manchester City's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain next week. The game is scheduled for October 14 at the Etihad Stadium, meaning the Spaniard will return to the arena where he spent ten years as the club's head coach.
Guardiola left Manchester City after the end of last season, bringing one of the most successful managerial eras in English football to a close. Enzo Maresca is now in charge of the team, while Guardiola has remained away from coaching during the current campaign.
His visit comes at a particularly turbulent moment for his former club. Guardiola has publicly expressed his support for Manchester City following the independent commission's verdict in the Premier League financial case, while City have appealed the decision. It is worth noting that Guardiola spent ten seasons in Manchester and won 20 trophies with the club.
Reminder: Total exile? Manchester City could be kicked out of the Premier League — and EFL may shut the door
