Man City's Txiki Begiristain to Depart at Season's End

Begiristain's exit raises questions about Pep Guardiola's future at Manchester City as his contract nears expiration.

Txiki Begiristain, Manchester City's director of football, will leave the club at the end of the 2024-25 season after 12 years of service.
Begiristain's departure may influence manager Pep Guardiola's decision on whether to extend his contract, which ends next summer.
During his tenure, Begiristain played a crucial role in City's transfer successes, including the signings of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.
Potential replacements for Begiristain include Quique Cárcel from Girona and Hugo Viana from Sporting Lisbon, among others.
Despite Begiristain's close personal and professional relationship with Guardiola, sources suggest his departure may not significantly impact Guardiola's future plans.
