Txiki Begiristain, who has been crucial to Manchester City’s success, will leave his role as director of football after 13 years to allow a new era to begin. His departure marks the end of an impactful tenure that coincided with the club's rise in English football under Pep Guardiola's management. Despite initially planning to retire earlier, he extended his stay to contribute to the continuing growth at City, highlighting his dedication.
Hugo Viana, currently the director of football at Sporting CP, is set to replace Begiristain and is considered highly for his successful talent-scouting record. Man City have tracked Viana's work in Portugal, identifying him as the ideal candidate after assessing his ability to recognize and recruit top players. Viana's appointment is expected to take place in early 2025, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity for the club's football operations.
