Manchester City's fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura will leave the club this summer, according to The Athletic.

Buenaventura spent more than 15 years working alongside Pep Guardiola at various clubs.

Goalkeeper coach Xabi Mancisidor is also departing when his contract expires at season's end.

Industry sources view these exits as a potential signal that Guardiola might be next. But City won't confirm anything until the season concludes.

The club has already identified Enzo Maresca as a replacement option. This preparation covers scenarios where Guardiola leaves this summer or waits until June 2027.
