Pep Guardiola's assistant explains decision to quit Man City to make MLS move

Pep Guardiola's former assistant has opened up on his decision to leave Manchester City in favour of a new opportunity in MLS.

Spaniard Rodolfo Borrell capped off six glorious years at the Etihad with a historic treble triumph which included the capturing of the club's first-ever Champions League trophy. The former academy technical director was promoted to the post as Guardiola's right-hand man upon his compatriot's arrival in England from Bayern Munich in 2016.

From there, he was a loyal confidant and support for the Catalan head coach and the pair helped to deliver five Premier League titles before finally bringing the holy grail of a European Cup to the blue half of Manchester. However, the landmark victory over Italian giants Inter Milan in the showpiece final turned out to be the last dance in the union between the 52-year-old and the Cityzens.
