Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shared his feelings after Kevin De Bruyne announced he will leave the club at the end of the season. Guardiola described De Bruyne as “one of the greatest Premier League players ever” and said the day he leaves will be a very sad one for the club.

De Bruyne, who is now 33 years old, joined Manchester City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for £55 million. Over the past 10 years, he has played a huge role in the team’s success.

During his time at the club, the Belgian midfielder won 16 major trophies. These include six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, two Community Shields, and one Champions League title.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Guardiola said: “It’s a sad day. Kevin gave us so much, not just on the pitch but also as a person. He has been a big part of our success over the last ten years. It’s hard to imagine Manchester City without him.”

De Bruyne’s departure will mark the end of a historic chapter for Manchester City and their fans.
