Pepijn Lijnders to Leave Manchester City After Guardiola Exit
Pepijn Lijnders will leave Manchester City at the end of the current season. His departure follows the announced exit of head coach Pep Guardiola.
Lijnders has served as the club’s assistant coach. The decision aligns with the timing of Guardiola’s departure after a decade in charge of the Citizens.
Guardiola, the Spanish manager, will step down after ten years with Manchester City. His exit was confirmed earlier in the week.
Both coaches will therefore be absent from the squad when the new campaign begins. The club will need to restructure its coaching staff for the upcoming season.
Lijnders indicated a preference for a new adventure beyond Manchester City. No details on his next destination have been disclosed.
The changes mark a significant shift in the coaching hierarchy of one of England’s leading clubs. Fans will await further announcements regarding replacements.
