Lijnders reveals why he snubbed chance to remain at Man City after Guardiola exit

Lijnders‚ Kolo Toure‚ Lorenzo Buenaventura‚ Manel Estiarte and Xabi Mancisidor have all left City‚ with Enzo Maresca set to appoint his own backroom staff when he takes over at the Etihad. Dutchman Lijnders was famed for assisting Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool until the German's departure‚ but stepped into the City dugout in the summer after being persuaded by Guardiola. His family are now based in the Netherlands‚ and knew his work at City wasn't a long-term job.

Man City No2 Lijnders: Where we want Cherki to improve

Pep Lijnders confirmed the long-serving midfielder will be leaving the Etihad in the summer when his contract comes to an end‚ with his wife‚ Ines‚ thought to struggle with English culture. It comes after nine years of service to Pep Guardiola ‚ but the Spaniard is now faced with the task of replacing one of his star men. The announcement of Silva's departure is one of the first that can be expected over the coming months. Though the World Cup is a big area of focus for the summer‚ club football does not rest and the futures of many are still to be decided.
