Manchester City are preparing to announce Hugo Viana as their new director of football, effective from 2025. This decision follows the impending departure of the current director, Txiki Begiristain, who will step down next year.
Begiristain’s Departure
Txiki Begiristain, who has been a pivotal figure in Manchester City’s football operations, will be leaving his role in 2025. The club intends to honour his significant contributions to their success over the years.
Viana’s Appointment
Hugo Viana, a former Portuguese international, is set to take over the role. His appointment will be officially announced following Begiristain’s exit. Viana’s experience in football management and his previous roles in similar capacities have positioned him as a suitable successor.
