Pep Guardiola's departure from Manchester City after a decade marked the end of an era, with the club winning 20 trophies under his leadership. His successor, Enzo Maresca, has taken the helm.

He is a very dynamic coach and a footballing genius. It's a shame I only worked with him for one season. But it's his decision.

However, the reasons behind Guardiola's exit continue to be a topic of discussion. Tijjani Reijnders, a midfielder on loan at City from Milan, offered new insights into the team's internal dynamics. Speaking to De Telegraaf, Reijnders expressed his admiration for Guardiola, calling him a "very dynamic coach and a footballing genius."

Reijnders stated that he knows the reason for the Catalan coach's decision to leave Manchester City. "He told us that he no longer has the energy to manage the disappointment of players who didn't get enough playing time or didn't play at all," Reijnders explained. "After ten years, that's enough. And I understand that."

Despite his limited playing time under Guardiola, Reijnders clarified that his description of the coach as "dynamic" was meant positively. He emphasized that Guardiola strives to "get the most out of every player."
