Txiki Begiristain is poised to depart as Manchester City sporting director at the end of the season, in a move that may influence Pep Guardiola’s own decision regarding whether to remain as the club’s manager.
Begiristain joined City in October 2012, having been Barcelona’s director of football for seven years until 2010. At the Catalan club he worked for two seasons alongside Guardiola, who became head coach in 2008 because of his recommendation.
