Pep Guardiola, the outgoing manager of Manchester City, has shared that he received a heartfelt message from legendary Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. The revelation came during Guardiola’s final pre-match press conference before his team’s last Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa.
The Catalan coach is set to end his decade-long tenure with the club after this weekend’s fixture. During the press conference, Guardiola expressed his gratitude for the unexpected communication from Ferguson.
One of the most touching moments for me was receiving a message from Sir Alex yesterday, Guardiola stated. It made me incredibly happy. He spoke with a Scottish accent that I struggled to understand, but I will call him back to thank him personally. He congratulated me on my journey and everything we have achieved here. That means a great deal.
