'A lot of people were crying' - Nunes offers insight into Guardiola exit

[Getty Images] Matheus Nunes has revealed the extreme emotion on show when Pep Guardiola revealed to the players he would be stepping down as manager, with the right-back saying some Manchester City personnel were in tears. The Spaniard stepped down at the end of last season after a decade in-charge, with former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca taking over. "It was unexpected," Nunes said of Guardiola's decision. "We thought there was a chance of him leaving but until he actually says it you don't know if it's going to happen. "He spoke to us in the auditorium and it was a very emotional day. A lot of people were crying. It's very hard to say goodbye to someone who gave so much to us all. "Someone who put the club to a level that seems unreachable again. What he did was unbelievable. It is difficult to talk about. "I remember in that day, when you start to see everything on the screen, it becomes real that he is leaving. It didn't seem real. It felt weird and awkward to actually have to believe it. "A lot of things are going to change, I have never been in the club without him. It's never easy to say goodbye."
