reports — with an option to extend until June 2027.

As revealed in October, City was always confident to keep Pep — never spoke to other coaches.”

Guardiola who has been with the Citizens since 2016 has so far won 18 titles with the club. These include a UEFA Champions League title, 6 Premier League titles including four that were consecutive a record in the English top flight league.

Manchester City have started this season poorly and are currently five points behind league leaders, Liverpool after match day 11. They resume their league campaign against Tottenham Hotspurs over the weekend.
