Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has returned to the club after recovering from his recent back operation.

Guardiola is resuming his duties after three weeks away, with City confirming his return on Wednesday.

Assistant coach Juanma Lillo has been in charge since the 52-year-old Guardiola traveled to Spain for the procedure.

In Guardiola’s absence, City beat Sheffield United and Fulham to maintain the 100% start to its Premier League title defense. City’s squad is beginning to gather following the international break.

City returns to Premier League action Saturday at West Ham before its defense of the Champions League begins at home against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also Saudi Arabia’s Prime Minister, announced the Kingdom’s bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup. He said this bid reflects Saudi Arabia’s transformation and progress as part of the national transformation plan, Vision 2030.
The Crown Prince stated that the bid focuses on developing human skills, advancing football, and building global connections.
He pointed out that hosting the World Cup would be a major milestone in Saudi Arabia’s sports sector, which has seen significant growth and success recently. This event would highlight the Kingdom’s role as a global center for major sports events.
The Crown Prince also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s growing appeal as a tourist destination, noting that it topped the United Nations’ list for the highest growth in international tourist numbers in 2023.
Riyadh, the capital, has been chosen to host the World Expo 2030. Moreover, the country welcomed over 100 million tourists last year.
The Crown Prince added that the bid’s slogan, titled “Growing. Together,” reflects Saudi Arabia’s ongoing development in football.
