According to the search results, Joao Cancelo left Manchester City and joined Bayern Munich on loan in January 2023. Cancelo revealed that he left Manchester City because he thought he deserved more playing time, while City boss Pep Guardiola disagreed. Guardiola was reportedly disappointed with Cancelos attitude when he was given decreased game time, and felt that the 28-year-old should be allowed to go because of an unwillingness to accept a reduced role. Cancelo lost his first-team berth and did not feature in the past three matches before his departure. Cancelos loan move to Bayern Munich was a surprise, but his desire for greater playing time alerted Bayern. Cancelo has been instrumental for Manchester City since his arrival in 2019, winning two league titles, and was named in the Premier League team of the year in the past two seasons.
