Ivorian midfielder Yaya Tour\u00e9, who is also rumored to leave Manchester City, convinced his manager to surprise one fan.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Great memories<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As a token of appreciation towards City fans who traveled to South Wales, Manchester City players distributed shirts and mementos after\u00a0the match. As Pellegrini was bidding farewell, Yaya Toure asked his manager to give a present to a fan. The Chilean manager emptied his pockets, removed his jacket and gave it to a fan who seemed super excited to receive the gift.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt was a way to say thanks to the fans,\u201d the coach said. \u201cI always appreciate the support of the fans, the way they appreciate the style of the team, it is very important to win titles but also the style you win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pellegrini, who won one Premier League title and two League Cups with\u00a0Manchester City, will be replaced by Catalan coach Pep Guardiola this summer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15879\" style=\"width: 703px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"
