Guardiola Says Memories and Connections, Not Trophies, Define His Decade at Man City

Watkins scored twice as Villa spoiled Guardiola’s farewell, while City supporters staged tributes for the manager’s final match after 10 years in charge.

  • On Sunday, Pep Guardiola managed Manchester City for the 593rd and final time, ending his decade-long tenure with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.
  • Over 10 years, Guardiola transformed the club by securing 20 trophies including six Premier League titles and the Champions League before deciding he lacked the energy for another season.
  • Antoine Semenyo volleyed City ahead in the 23rd minute, but Ollie Watkins struck in the 46th and 61st minutes to secure Villa's comeback victory during the emotional final match.
  • Bernardo Silva and John Stones made their final appearances for the club, receiving guards of honour from both teams while tearful fans serenaded the departing manager throughout the afternoon.
  • Despite the loss, supporters marked the end of an era at the Etihad Stadium, chanting for "10 more years" as the club celebrated a manager who transformed English football.
