Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is understood to have agreed to extend his contract until the end of next season.
Pep Guardiola has agreed to a contract extension to stay at Manchester City for at least another season, according to widespread reports in British media.
The City manager, whose contract was due to expire at the end of this season, has overseen a period of unprecedented dominance since joining the club in 2016. City have won six Premier League titles in seven years and secured their first Champions League.
City have not commented on several reports that the 53-year-old would extend his stay into a 10th season, with the deal including an option for an additional year. Guardiola also signed his two previous contract extensions at City during the November international break.
Under the Catalan coach, City became the first team to win four straight English league titles. He also led City to the treble in 2023, winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in one season – matching Manchester United’s achievement in 1999. The club also lifted the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup that same year.
The Spaniard managed boyhood club Barcelona from 2008-12 and spent three years in charge of German giants Bayern Munich, winning three league titles at each club, before joining City, who are currently second in the Premier League, five points behind Liverpool after 11 games.
