The news has sent shockwaves through the football world: Txiki Begiristain, the sporting director of Manchester City and the right-hand man of Pep Guardiola, will be leaving the club at the end of the season. The news has generated great commotion, especially after the emotional words of Guardiola, who has confessed that it feels like "a part of me is leaving."

Guardiola has expressed his deep gratitude to Begiristain, highlighting his trust and his ability to maintain balance in the most difficult moments: "I knew about the decision a long time ago, for family and personal reasons. I know how grateful he is for his time here. I will miss him for his trust, for the balance he has given me. When things weren't going well and I wanted to destroy everything, he always told me to calm down. He helped me a lot in my time at Barcelona and, of course, here too."

A Winning Project Built Together

Together, Guardiola and Begiristain have forged one of the most successful partnerships in modern football. Their shared vision and ability to build a winning team have taken Manchester City to the pinnacle of European football. Begiristain, with his keen eye for talent and his deep knowledge of the market, has been instrumental in this success.

"With Txiki, we have achieved incredible things. We have won many titles and created a style of play that has left its mark on world football," said Guardiola. "His absence will be greatly felt at the club."

Guardiola's Future Uncertain

Begiristain's departure raises questions about Guardiola's future at Manchester City. Although the Catalan coach has assured that he is focused on the current season, rumors about his possible departure have begun to gain traction.

"I haven't made a decision about my future at City yet," said Guardiola. "When I do, I will let you know. There's not much more I can say, what concerns me most now is the game against Wolves."

A Farewell That Marks an Era

Begiristain's departure marks the end of an era at Manchester City. His legacy will be remembered for many years to come and his influence will continue to be felt at the club. Guardiola and Begiristain have written one of the brightest chapters in the club's history, and their separation will be a difficult moment for all City fans.
