- •The Catalan coach will remain linked to the City Football Group as a global ambassador after his departure
- •An independent investigation into over 100 alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations is still ongoing

SOUTH KOREADOMINANT ANGLE
Seoul hails a decade of absolute dominance and above all retains the trophy count of Guardiola, perceived as a transformative figure in English football whose era ends on a nostalgic note.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Guardiola won 17 major titles with Manchester City, including 6 Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League
