Pep Guardiola will remain Manchester City manager until the summer of 2027 after signing a two-year contract extension.
The Athletic exclusively reported on Tuesday that the 53-year-old had agreed fresh terms on a new deal to take him past 10 years service for the Premier League club, with his previous contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
Guardiola arrived at the Etihad Stadium in July 2016 and has masterminded an unprecedented period of success since then.
The Spaniard has won 18 trophies during his time in English football, including six Premier League titles — second in the all-time list behind former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson (13).
In 2022-23, he helped City become only the second English side after Ferguson’s 1998-99 team to win the Treble — comprising the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
Last term his side made history by becoming the first team to win four successive top-flight titles.
Guardiola, who was the Football Association’s preferred choice to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager, resumes his quest for a fifth straight title this weekend off the back of four successive defeats in all competitions.
City — second in the table, four points behind leaders Liverpool — return to action at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
