Pep Guardiola has agreed to extend his contract as Manchester City manager for another two years, the club confirmed on Thursday. The 53-year-old Spaniard's previous deal was set to expire on July 1 next year, but the new agreement will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2027.
This extension comes at a crucial time for City, as they face uncertainty over potential sanctions after being charged with 115 alleged breaches of Premier League regulations, charges the club firmly denies. Guardiola’s continued presence provides stability, especially given his immense success at the helm of the club.
Since taking over in 2016, Guardiola has led Manchester City to six Premier League titles, including a record four consecutive wins. Under his leadership, the club achieved a historic treble in 2023, winning the league, FA Cup, and Champions League. Reflecting on his decision to stay, Guardiola expressed his deep connection to the club, stating that Manchester City holds a special place in his heart, which influenced his decision to extend his tenure.
