Pep Guardiola will have the first time in his 18-year coaching career to go through two consecutive seasons without winning the national championship.
However, Man City's season is still considered successful as they won a domestic cup double including the FA Cup and the English League Cup. The reception of Aston Villa this weekend is therefore of special significance as Etihad will say goodbye to Guardiola.
The Spanish captain will lead the 593rd match and also the last match as Man City head coach. He officially surpassed Les McDowall's 592-match milestone to become the coach with the longest tenure in the club's history.
During his time leading Man City, Guardiola won a total of 20 titles, including six Premier League titles. He also has the highest win rate in league history for an official coach, with 268 wins after 378 matches, reaching a rate of 70.9%.
Aston Villa is also one of Guardiola's favorite opponents. Man City has won 10 of their last 14 encounters with the Midlands team, including six consecutive wins at the Etihad with a total score of 17-5.
While Man City is preparing to say goodbye to Guardiola, Aston Villa enters the match with excitement after winning the Europa League title.
Unai Emery's team defeated Freiburg 3-0 in the final in Istanbul thanks to goals from Youri Tielemans, Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers. This victory also helped Emery lift his fifth Europa League title in his career - a tournament record.
