City v Villa - 24 May 2026 | Manchester City F.C. Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

Right, that's me signing off after a day I think we will all never forget.

Saying goodbye to three such titans of the Club was always going to be tough.

But City did it with style and class. as always.

There's one last chance to celebrate Pep, Bernardo, John and a season to savour for our men, women and Under-18s at tomorrow's parade.

But in the meantime thank you so much for your company today - it's always appreciated - and we'll see you in August for the new season!!

I am confident [looking to City's future] Because they are stubborn and know what they want to do. They know the opponents are so tough here and in Europe. We won a final against Arsenal and other against Chelsea. We fought a team like Aston Villa. Always I say every single step. Don't wait to win the Champions League to be happy, enjoy the process. I know the players here will.

I have been here 10 years. It's more than any other part of my career. 20 trophies absolutely or they sack me before. When you see them in the cabinet. The memories, the connection from day one, with the city and the staff and they players. I knew we were connected. I'm sure John and Bernie will say the same. 

I don't cry but when I see others I cry. I said don't cry. Its such a special moment for Bernie. He said I cannot run. Happy that Ferna is here. Came from Brazil to be here. Eddie, Gundo and all the guys and those in the video for John and Bernie. Top humans

Pep takes a moment to compose himself ahead of the post match ceremony.

Erling Haaland proudly holds his 2025/26 Premier League Golden Boot award aloft. It has been another superb campaign for the City striker. 

Our time was good. Thank you to all the people, the new stand is beautiful.

Bernardo was emotional today, before the game, if you want to cry then cry, laugh then laugh. Emotions - you have to express them. I don't cry, but when I see somebody else cry, then I cry!

"This chapter will always be there. Many memories - forget the titles, it's the memories. All of us. All the people here are extraordinary. Life is made of periods, we lived an incredible period. If I had energy I would stay here. A new person has to do this job.
