Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City this summer after a decade in charge.
Following months of speculation around his future, the Spaniard will depart after the 2025/26 season, despite having one year remaining on his contract.
Guardiola will leave having won a cup double in his 10th and final campaign, but he missed out on the Premier League title after Man City's draw at Bournemouth.
Since his appointment in February 2016, the 55-year-old has won everything club football has to offer, transforming and reshaping the landscape of the Premier League as we know it.
During 10 years at Man City he has guided the club to a remarkable 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy in 2023.
Guardiola will continue his relationship with the City Football Group, by taking up a role as a global ambassador. The role will see him giving technical advice to the clubs in the group, working on specific projects and collaborations.
Guardiola's exit comes while City await the outcome of an investigation into 115 charges of alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial rules.
The alleged breaches covered the period between 2009 and 2018. Manchester City deny all of the charges.

Analysis by Sky Sports' Laura Hunter:
As the Premier League prepares to bid farewell to one of its greatest teachers of the modern era, talk will turn to who has the right pedigree to replace the great Pep Guardiola. There is no one like him. No tactician on the planet is able to replicate what Pep has achieved with three different iterations of Manchester City squads.
A new path must therefore be forged.
Whoever replaces Guardiola is taking on a challenge similar in many ways to the one David Moyes inherited when he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in 2013. That experiment was fairly shortlived. But this situation has one key difference.
Moyes' downfall was not engineered by the fact he followed an icon, he essentially took over an ageing playing squad which had reached the end of the road. Only a small handful of players - Wayne Rooney and perhaps Robin van Persie - finished that first season without Fergie with any real credit.
But City's current squad is in a different phase of its evolution. It might be saying goodbye to club legends Bernardo Silva and John Stones this summer but the nucleus of talent left behind is in fine working order. If you are inheriting a team Pep built, it can be no bad thing. The average age of the group is such that it should only get better, too.
Arne Slot has already bucked the trend, proving with Liverpool last season what is possible when the combination of players is right. He won the Premier League with a team Jurgen Klopp had assembled and prepared to be winners.
With the right coach in charge and a bit of help in the summer window, there is no reason why this City side should not be in prime position to at least compete to do something similar.
