Guardiola 'so pleased' after penning new Man City contract

Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with Manchester City to 2025.

Guardiola's time at City is one laden with success. He has so far won 11 major trophies, including four of the last five Premier League titles.

Confirming the news, City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “I am delighted that Pep's journey with Manchester City Football Club will continue. He has already contributed so much to the success and fabric of this organisation, and it's exciting to think what might be possible given the energy, hunger and ambition that he clearly still has.

“Under his very special leadership our first team has accomplished so much, whilst continuously playing, and constantly evolving, a City style of football that is admired the world over. Like every City fan, I am looking forward to what lies ahead."

And Guardiola spoke of his delight at remaining City manager until the summer of 2025.

“I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years," he said.

“I can't say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable here. I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible.

“I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last ten years, and it will happen in the next ten years because this club is so stable.

“From day one I felt something special being here. I cannot be in a better place.

“I still have the feeling there is more we can achieve together and that is why I want to stay and continue fighting for trophies."
