Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has extended his contract with the EPL giants with two more years.

The Spaniard’s current deal was expiring at the end of this season after arriving at the club in 2016. His current five-year stay at the Etihad is his longest spell in charge of a club since he began his managerial career in 2008.

Speaking after signing the new deal, Pep said: Ever since I arrived at Manchester City I have been made to feel so welcome in the club and in the city itself.

“Since then we have achieved a great deal together, scored goals, won games and trophies, and we are all very proud of that success.

“Having that kind of support is the best thing any manager can have. I have everything I could possibly want to do my job well and I am humbled by the confidence the Owner, Chairman, Ferran and Txiki have shown in me to continue for two more years after this season.

“The challenge for us is to continue improving and evolving, and I am very excited and about helping Manchester City do that.”
