Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has said that he regrets letting Jesus Navas leave. The tactician sent a warm message to Navas after the Spaniard announced his retirement.

Guardiola and Navas didn't spend too much time together, with the versatile wideman playing just 1798 minutes across 36 games under Guardiola. However, the six time-Premier League winning manager spoke fondly of his former charge (saying as per The Mirror):

"Thank you for the gift of having spent a year together. You don't know how much I regret letting you go. I would have loved for you to stay longer here, but sometimes you make mistakes.
