Tactical genius Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with Premier League side Manchester City. The contract extension will keep him in charge at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.

His previous contract was about to expire at the end of the season. There was worry among City fans that the decorated manager would walk away in just seven months. But the news of the extension will give them a lot of relief.

The 51-year-old manager said that he has stayed because he wants to achieve more with City. “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,” he said

Pep Guardiola expressed his gratitude towards everyone involved in the club for showing trust in him. He said that he is happy and optimistic about the future of the club. He also appreciated the club for being so stable.

'I can't say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable, and 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,” he added.

Can Pep Guardiola lift the Champions trophy with City?

The Spaniard joined the club in 2016 and has won almost every trophy possible, barring the prestigious Champions League. He came close to winning it in 2021 but his side lost to Chelsea in the finals.

The Sky Blues are currently ranked second in the domestic points table, just five points behind Arsenal. In the Champions League, they topped their group stage table and remained unbeaten.
