pep contract extension
On Thursday, Manchester City, the Premier League champions, announced that Pep Guardiola had extended his contract as manager for an additional two seasons.
The 53-year-old Spaniard would have been out of contract on July 1 next year but has now agreed to a new two-year deal.
Guardiola’s decision to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium is a boost to City as they wait to discover if they will be punished after being charged with 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules—charges the club deny completely.
Guardiola took charge at City in 2016 and has since led them to six Premier League titles, with the last four coming in succession—an English record.
He led City to a league, FA Cup, and Champions League treble in 2023, while the club also won the League Cup four years in a row under him between 2018 and 2021.
Guardiola, who previously enjoyed a trophy-laden career as a player and coach at Barcelona before taking charge of German giants Bayern Munich, said: “Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here; we have experienced so many amazing times together.
“I have a really special feeling for this football club. That is why I am so happy to be staying for another two more seasons.”
