Pep Guardiola has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Manchester City until 2027.
The Catalan, whose previous deal was due to expire next summer, will take his stay at the Etihad Stadium to 11 seasons after agreeing to commit his future to the club.
Guardiola, the most successful coach in City’s history, is already the longest-serving manager currently working in the Premier League and has put pen to paper even though his long-time ally, director of football Txiki Begiristain, will leave next summer, and the club could face huge penalties if found guilty in the hearing into the 130 charges the Premier League has levelled at them.
The 53-year-old, who arrived after leaving Bayern Munich in 2016, has won six Premier League titles, becoming the first manager to win the English title in four consecutive seasons, two FA Cups, a joint record four League Cups and the first Champions League in the club’s history.
He won a Treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 2023 and a domestic Treble in 2019, while in 2018, City became the first team to secure 100 points in a top-flight English season.
