News of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola (55) stepping down triggered a flood of heartfelt pleas from fans on his daughter Maria Guardiola (25)'s social media (SNS).

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 19th (Korean time) that "Manchester City fans flooded an Instagram post by Maria just before news of Guardiola's resignation broke."

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. This led some to speculate that the mention of "tanning" hinted at a move to a sunnier region, implying her father's resignation from Manchester City. However, the media stated, "It likely refers to an upcoming summer vacation rather than an immediate departure from rainy Manchester," drawing a line against overinterpretation.

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

Shocked Manchester 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 onto the pitch herself when Manchester City defeated Arsenal at Wembley Stadium, sharing an emotional embrace with her father."

The UK's BBC reported on the 19th that "Guardiola appears set to step down from Manchester City's managerial role 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 departure as a foregone conclusion, even considering naming a newly expanded stand after him. Since joining Manchester City in 2016, he has led the team to the world's elite, lifting a remarkable 20 trophies, including six English Premier League (EPL) titles over a decade.
