Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has lost a major component of his coaching unit following the club's historic treble triumph, with a move to MLS beckoning for his right-hand man Rodolfo Borrell.
The Eastlands club's 2023 season assumed immortality after becoming the first English team to equal Manchester United's 1999 feat in 1999 when they won the Champions League in Istanbul to complete the treble. However, the achievement will be the last dance for the Spanish coaching duo as assistant Borrell has decided to go it alone, stepping into a new post with Austin FC.
The trusted coach had been a significant part of the Cityzens' operation for the last nine years after joining the club from Liverpool, serving as academy technical director prior to Guardiola's arrival. Following two years in his post, he earned a promotion to become first-team assistant in 2016.
