In place since 2012 as sporting director, Txiki Begiristain will leave Manchester City (Premier League). It’s official since Saturday.
The English club Manchester City owes its success to the immense financial resources of its owner from the United Arab Emirates and the know-how of two Spaniards. Coach Pep Guardiola, with the Cityzens since 2016, works closely with Txiki Begiristain. Their complicity will not last since Manchester City formalized the departure of the director of football in a press release published on Saturday afternoon.
“ After twelve trophy-laden years at the Etihad Stadium, Txiki will leave his current position following the club’s participation in the Club World Cup this summer and will be replaced by Sporting CP’s Hugo Viana », Indicates the post of the six-time champions of England since 2018 about the Basque sports director who arrived in England in 2012 from Barcelona.
Smooth transition
If Hugo Viana, sporting director of the Lisbon club, will take up his position full-time in the summer of 2025, he will work with Txiki Begiristain in the preceding months to ensure a smooth transition, specifies the Man City press release.
