Man City to Honour Pep Guardiola with Stand Renaming and Statue

1 / 2

Manchester City will rename the expanded North Stand at the Etihad Stadium “The Pep Guardiola Stand” as a tribute to their departing manager. The club confirmed Guardiola will leave at the end of the season, with his final home game against Aston Villa set to be an emotional farewell. He steps down a year before his contract expires amid weeks of speculation about his future. A statue will also be commissioned outside the new stand to celebrate Guardiola’s decade of success. His statue will join those of club legends Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero on the stadium campus. City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak praised Guardiola’s impact on the club, the city and English football, saying the tribute ensures his legacy remains woven into Manchester City’s history.
