Spanish coach Pep Guardiola has signed a three-year contract to take over as Manchester City manager in July, the Premier League club said yesterday.
Manuel Pellegrini will leave the job on 30 June to make way for Guardiola, who joins after three seasons at Bayern Munich in Germany.
Guardiola, who won 14 titles with Barcelona in his four-year coaching spell, had turned down a contract extension at Bayern late last year after winning back-to-back league titles and being on course for a third straight Bundesliga crown with them.
“Out of respect for Pellegrini and the players, the club wishes to make its decision public to remove the unnecessary burden of speculation,” City said in a statement.
“Manuel, who is fully supportive of the decision to make this communication, is entirely focused on achieving his targets for the season ahead and retains the respect and commitment of all involved with the leadership of the club,” City said.
Chilean Pellegrini, who took over at City in 2013, said he had informed his players to avoid any speculation regarding his future.
“I finish here on 30 June,” he said at the end of a news conference yesterday.
“There have been lots of speculation – nothing done behind me – but I don’t think it is good to have speculation, so that is why I told the press and the players.”
Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said last week that the club would support Guardiola in his work until the last day at Bayern. - Online Sources
