Shortly after he announced his retirement from professional football on 15 December, 2021, Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero said he was hopeful that one day he would be able to play football again.
Fernandinho sends 'unique' Man City fans a special message ahead of final game
21.05.2022 - 08:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Fernandinho says the love and respect he has had from Manchester City fans has been a big factor in him staying at the club for nine years. And the Brazilian ace, who plays his final game against Aston Villa on Sunday - when he hopes to lift the Premier League trophy for the fifth time - says he is virtually a Mancunian now.
The 37-year-old has called time on his Blues career after making 382 appearances, and will return to Brazil with his family to wind up his playing career. If City beat Villa, he will become the most decorated player in the club’s history with 12 major trophies, as he already has six League Cups to add to his one FA Cup and four league titles, placing him joint top with David Silva on 11.
He is sure to get a rousing send-off if City win the title but given the uncertain nature of what will happen on Sunday there are no specific plans to give him an organised farewell, as happened with David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta. But Fernandinho has sent his own message to the Blues fans who took him to their hearts after his £30million move from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.

“The fans have been amazing since my first day here,” he said. “Really respectful, polite, supportive. Every time I go into town or the park for a walk with my kids, they show their respect and their support.
“This is amazing and really nice. I am not sure if you can find fans like this in another place or other teams. My family and I were always treated really well here in Manchester.
“That is why I spent nine years here as the kids were settled in school with friends, my wife was settled as well. It was really important to keep me calm
