Worked together for 15 years. Pep Guardiola’s long-time assistant to leave Manchester City

Manchester City are approaching the end of the 2025/26 season, and the club is expected to undergo major changes this summer. One of those changes will affect the coaching staff.

Details: according to Sam Lee of The Athletic, fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura, who has worked alongside Pep Guardiola for 15 years, will leave the club after the end of the season. Goalkeeping coach Xabi Mancisidor is also set to depart.

Meanwhile, we recently reported that Manchester City’s 29-year-old Spanish defensive midfielder is close to signing a new contract with the club. At this stage, there have been no official talks between Real Madrid and Rodri, while the player himself is keen to remain at the Etihad.
