Tuesday was a night really dominated by live football and tennis. It was an evening where one Spanish sporting icon prepared for his exit, while another appeared to be extending his stay. So let’s take a deeper look at what happened while you were sleeping.
Pep Guardiola is set to extend his stay in charge of Manchester City by signing a one-year extension to his contract, according to the Athletic. Guardiola has won six Premier League titles and the club’s first-ever Champions League since arriving at the Etihad in 2016. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach’s contract expires at the end of the season.
There had been speculation that Guardiola’s time could be coming to an end with City facing an uncertain future due to an ongoing hearing over 115 breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations. The club’s director of football Txiki Begiristain, a close ally of Guardiola, will departure at the end of the season. The Athletic reported that the 53-year-old will pen a one-year extension to his deal with the option for another year.
