Torino's English goalkeeper Joe Hart believes that his time with Manchester City is over after he was forced out of the squad and loaned out to the Serie A club.
Speaking to the BBC's Premier League Show, and as reported by The Sun, Hart remains resigned to the fact his career with City has come to an end following the appointment of current boss Pep Guardiola.The England internationaldidn'tsuit the playing style of new Manchester City manager, according to the Spanish boss.

The 29-year-old, who joined City from Shrewsbury in 2006, had to be sent out on a loan to Torino in order to get any game time.Since his arrival in Turin, Hart has had a consistent run with the Granata and cemented himself as the first-choice keeper in the team.
Hart still admits that his future with the Sky Blues remainsin limbo and that it looks highly unlikely that he will make a return to the Etihad.Guardiola has mentioned that he won't make afuture decision for the player until the summer.
I want to say it was really bad but it wasn't because I saw it coming. You just pick up vibes and it certainly wasn't a surprise to me," Hart said.
It was something that I wanted to change and felt I was more than capable of changing but to get results he needed to have a team he felt comfortable with and a team he wanted."
However, Guardiola's plans didn't go the way the Spaniard had hoped. Claudio Bravo was signed for£15.4m as a replacement for Hart, although the Chile international has made severalerrors that have cost the club some vital points this season.
City's second-choice goalkeeperWilly Caballero has taken over Bravo's duties recently, but Hart's loan this season might leave the Premier League side andGuardiolain regret.
