Guardiola signs new Man City contract

Manchester City have announced that Pep Guardiola has signed a new two-year deal as manager of the club.

The 51-year-old, who joined Man City in the summer of 2016, has agreed an extension to his current deal that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.

"I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years," Guardiola told the club's official website.

"I can't say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable here. I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible.

"I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last ten years, and it will happen in the next ten years because this club is so stable.

"From day one I felt something special being here. I cannot be in a better place.

"I still have the feeling there is more we can achieve together and that is why I want to stay and continue fighting for trophies."

Guardiola has guided City to four Premier League titles, four EFL Cup triumphs and one FA Cup during his six seasons at the club.

"I am delighted that Pep's journey with Manchester City Football Club will continue. He has already contributed so much to the success and fabric of this organisation, and it’s exciting to think what might be possible given the energy, hunger and ambition that he clearly still has," said Man City chairman Khaldoon Mubarak.

"Under his very special leadership our first team has accomplished so much, whilst continuously playing, and constantly evolving, a City style of football that is admired the world over. Like every City fan, I am looking forward to what lies ahead."
