London: Pep Guardiola has extended his Manchester City contract for a further two seasons it was announced on Thursday, saying he had "everything a manager could ever wish for" at the Etihad Stadium.

The 53-year-old Spaniard would have been out of contract on July 1 next year, but has now agreed a new two-year deal extension with the Premier League champions.

Guardiola's decision to stay is a boost to City as they wait to discover if they will be punished after being charged with 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules -- charges the club deny completely.

City are also currently on a four-game losing streak in all competitions, although they are second in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Liverpool.

Guardiola took over at City in 2016 and has since won a total of 18 trophies across all competitions, including six Premier League titles with the last four coming in succession -- an English record.
