The 61-year-old now plans to spend plenty of time with his family after a long and distinguished career in the game. But he says when he does check out the football scores, City will be very much on his mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI have three clubs!\u201d he said to Man City's media team. \"One is Sociedad, where I grew up, the second one is Barcelona, of course; and then it\u2019s going to be City. I\u2019ll see how I feel watching. I\u2019m going to choose the right ones and just enjoy watching football. I\u2019ve been watching the best football in the world \u2013 both at Barcelona and Manchester City - so I\u2019ll choose only the good games!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On spending time with his loved ones now he\u2019s called time on his trophy-laden career, he added, \u201cI\u2019m ready to spend time with them, but I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re ready to have me all the time!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI hope and wish they are ready! Hopefully they can understand I\u2019m new in the house because until today, I was thinking a lot of football. I have a wonderful excuse to visit Manchester with my daughter staying here. I\u2019m going to come often.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"He has been a top selection,\" Begiristain said in what was his final interview with City. \"I would say that he is quite close to what I feel I am. He is so calm, but he is also very decisive. In the winter transfer window he couldn\u2019t be here, he was at Sporting, but I\u2019ve seen it in the last few months \u2013 the criteria he has and the way he sees football.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
