As news spread that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola (55) was resigning, fans poured heartfelt pleas onto his daughter Maria Guardiola (25)'s social media (SNS).

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 19th (Korean time) that "just before news of Guardiola's resignation broke, his daughter's Instagram post was flooded by Man City fans."

Maria (25), who works as a model and influencer, posted short videos on her SNS account on the 18th, posing in front of a mirror. In the videos, Maria, wearing a red sleeveless top and jeans, smiled in what appeared to be a luxury hotel suite.

She left a short caption, "This tan sooonnnnnnnn," along with a dancing emoji for her 895,000 followers.

Manchester is famous for its frequent rain and gloomy weather. As a result, some speculated that the mention of "tanning" hinted at a move to a sunnier region, implying her father's resignation from Man City. However, the media stated that it likely referred to an upcoming summer vacation rather than an immediate departure from rainy Manchester, drawing a line against overinterpretation.

Coincidentally, just a few hours after the post was uploaded, a bombshell report broke that Guardiola would leave the team at the end of this season. Enzo Maresca was named as the successor.

Shocked Man City fans immediately flocked to Maria's SNS comment section. Fans pleaded, "Please tell him to stay for just one more season," requesting Guardiola's continued tenure. Others praised Maria's appearance, saying, "She's incredibly beautiful" and "She's radiant."

The media reported that "Maria previously made headlines by coming down onto the pitch herself when Man City defeated Arsenal at Wembley Stadium, sharing an emotional hug with her father."

The UK's BBC reported on the 19th that "Guardiola appears set to step down as Man City manager after this weekend's match against Aston Villa," lending weight to the resignation rumors. According to the media, the club has already begun internal preparations for the parting, with Maresca emerging as the leading candidate for the next manager.

Although Guardiola's contract still has one year remaining, the club is treating the breakup as a foregone conclusion, even considering naming a newly expanded stand after him. Since joining Man City in 2016, he has led the team to the world's elite, lifting a staggering 20 trophies, including six English Premier League (EPL) titles over 10 years.
