‘A Farewell to Txiki’ - our new documentary highlighting the impact of Txiki Begiristain on our unprecedented period of success – is already available to view.
But now there’s a fresh ‘Uncut’ version which brings you even closer to the key decision makers over the last decade and beyond.
In the original piece, we featured footage of key personnel - former Director of Football Txiki Begiristain, manager Pep Guardiola and CEO Ferran Soriano taking everything City during a sit-down meal at their joint-venture restaurant in the heart of Manchester.
Txiki, Pep and Ferran gather at Tast to discuss their memories and explain what it is that has made their work together so successful.
In this new ‘Uncut’ version, we bring you the full conversation between the influential trio as we truly raise the curtain on the talks that normally take place behind closed doors.
In this 25-minute special, Txiki tells us how it’s now time for a different kind of life despite his love of being a Director of Football at the Club.
He talks about not wanting to be a coach after retiring from an illustrious playing career but initially thinking that scouting may be a future avenue for him before moving into the role he’s excelled at for over two decades.
Txiki tells us about the City player he views as one of his very best signings and also discusses the joy he felt at Southampton in 2018 and Istanbul in 2023 as well as the out-of-character tension he felt closing in on his first Premier League title in the job in 2014.
Ferran praises Txiki’s calm approach, Pep discusses what makes a good signing while there’s much, much more from the hugely respected trio.
It’s one not to be missed.
