Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has agreed a one-year contract extension. According to BBC Sport, although City are refusing to comment on a story that was first reported in The Athletic, multiple sources have confirmed Guardiola has elected to sign a new deal to take his stay at the club to 10 years. The 53-year-old Spaniard joined City in 2016 and has won 18 trophies so far, including six Premier League titles.
His contract had been due to expire at the end of the current season. There have been suggestions the new agreement will have the option of a second year, although this is not known at this stage. 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. City sit second in this season’s Premier League, five points behind leaders Liverpool, and are on a run of four successive defeats across all competitions. This is the first time Guardiola has endured such a streak of losses – excluding shootouts – in his managerial career.
