Tearful Manchester City fans serenaded Pep Guardiola with chants of "We've got Guardiola!" as the Etihad Stadium turned into a tribute on Sunday to the man who transformed both the club and English football over his glittering decade as boss.
Pep Guardiola addressing the crowd at the Etihad Stadium: "I'm so nervous right now. Why do you love me so much? Why do you do that to me?
"I never imagined the amount of love, it had been an incredible, tremendous honour to be your manager for 10 years. Incredible emotions. My dad is here today in the stands, 95-years old - wow! Maybe he doesn't realise but I'm pretty sure in many years this stand that looks really beautiful, the name of my family will be there. That is the hugest honour.
"It is an immense honour my family will have for the rest of my life. The players don't know it, but I will be up there [in the Pep Guardiola Stand] controlling them! The players have a huge responsibility to continue these standards - hopefully they fight and fight and fight. This is my home.
"Over the next years, wherever in the world, if you see my in the streets or here at Etihad Stadium, if you are a City fan come to me. It has been a huge honour to represent this club. Every decision I took I thought was the best for this club. I love you so much. It has been fucking fun."

Thank you Josep,they all doubted you when you first collected the job This is not farmer’s league or La liga You can’t replicate what you did in Spain and bundesliga in premiership Those are the words of the so called fans of the so called best league in the world But I know you bro,you are the real definition of a conqueror You dominated there fucking league like if your playground You never won four straight league titles in Spain or Germany and yet you did it in England,am glad that you show them that it just money that they have in premiership nothing special about there league #PEP-THE-CONQUEROR

I love pep not only for his coaching skills but also because he's very smart to know when to leave something before that thing leaves him unlike Mourinho getting sack here and there
