Pep Guardiola contract: Manchester City manager signs two-year extension

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he has “everything a manager could ever wish for” after signing a two-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2027.

The 53-year-old Spaniard joined City in 2016 and has won 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles.

His contract had been due to expire at the end of the current season.

“Manchester City means so much to me,” Guardiola told the club’s website.

“This is my ninth season here. We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club.

“I have said this many times before, but I have everything a manager could ever wish for, and I appreciate that so much.

“Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus.”

During his time in Manchester, Guardiola has helped City become just the second English men’s team to win the Treble – the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season.

They have also become the first men’s team to win four successive English top-flight titles and to achieve 100 Premier League points in a single campaign.
