Pep Guardiola will not completely distance himself from the club structure after leaving his position as Manchester City head coach. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish tactician will take on the role of global ambassador within the City Football Group.
This decision shows that Guardiola's role in the City project was not limited to just being head coach. Over 10 years, Pep shaped an entire football culture at Manchester City, took the club to a new level, and his ideas can now serve the development of other clubs within the group.
According to the source, Guardiola will provide technical advice to clubs within the City Football Group. He is expected to act as a consultant on coaching staff, football philosophy, youth systems, playing style, and development strategy. This will allow Pep's accumulated experience to be utilized on a global scale.
The Spanish tactician will also work on various projects and partnerships. Today, the City Football Group is not just one club, but a large system uniting football projects in different countries around the world. In such a structure, the ideas and experience of a specialist like Guardiola will be of great importance.
Previously, it was announced that Guardiola would leave his post as Manchester City head coach at the end of the season after 10 years of service. This news caused a great stir in the football community, as Pep will go down in history as the coach who turned the 'Citizens' into one of the strongest teams in English and European football.
During the Guardiola era, Manchester City not only won numerous trophies but also set new standards in playing style, positional football, high pressing, and ball control. Now, these views of his can be directed toward other clubs in the City Football Group system.
For information, the City Football Group includes several clubs from different countries around the world in addition to Manchester City. As a global football network, this group strives to develop young talent, exchange experience between clubs, and shape a unified football philosophy.
In short, even if Guardiola leaves the Manchester City head coach position, he remains in the City Football Group family. He may no longer manage games from the touchline every three days, but his ideas, advice, and experience will serve the group's global development. Pep is leaving, but he is not exiting the system — in football terms, he is just playing in a different position.
