Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has shared his thoughts on the retirement of the team's former midfielder Fernandinho from professional football. The Brazilian player represented the "Cityzens" from 2013 to 2022.
Recently, the 40-year-old footballer announced his decision to hang up his boots. "Wonderful memories.
The unique players of that era will always remain in my heart, and Fernandinho is one of them. When I arrived here 10 years ago, he provided me with immense support.
He was an exceptional footballer. I’m sure that even after retiring, he will continue to be involved in football.
Every player says after retirement, 'I want to spend time with my family and children.' But just a few days later, they start thinking, 'What will I do next?'
An experienced individual who played at a high level is needed in football. He has much to offer to the new generation.
I congratulate Fernandinho on his amazing and extensive career. Could he become a Manchester City coach in the future?
Maybe, maybe… It depends on how good he is," Guardiola said in an interview with City Report.
The last club of Fernandinho's football career was Brazil's "Athletico Paranaense".
