The Manchester City is preparing for a significant change at the end of the current season with the departure of their sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, who has been a key figure in the club's transformation and success since his arrival in 2012. As reported by 'The Athletic', the Basque executive has decided to end his tenure at the Etihad Stadium after 13 years, during which he helped build one of Europe's most dominant football projects.

Begiristain's departure is not a surprise to the City's leadership, who were already aware of his decision. Originally, Begiristain had planned to retire at 55, but his commitment to the club and his desire to continue collaborating with Pep Guardiola led him to extend his stay until 60. Now, he has chosen to take a sabbatical, as reported by Fabrizio. Romano, although he does not plan to fully retire from football.

The true architect of Manchester City's rise

During his time in Manchester, Begiristain was the architect of a squad that has won 21 titles, including several Premier League and a Champions League. World-class players like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Rodri, and Bernardo Silva arrived under his leadership, solidifying the club in the elite of international football.

City is already working on his succession, and Hugo Viana, current director of football at Sporting de Portugal, is the leading candidate to take over. Viana has shown great management skills, with successful signings like Gyokeres and Hjulmand. The departure of Begiristain will mark the end of a golden era for Manchester City, a legacy that will be hard to match for his successor.
