The Catalan coach has extended his stay in England by an additional two years

Pep Guardiola has signed a new two-year contract with Manchester City to extend his stay with the Premier League champions until 2025. 

Guardiola, 51, was appointed City boss in 2016 so will have been at the club for nine years by the time his new terms expire. 

He spent four years at Barcelona and just three years at Bayern Munich. 

"Manchester City are delighted to announce Pep Guardiola has signed a new two-year contract," the club announced on Wednesday. 

"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.

"Across all competitions, he has won 271 of the 374 matches he has overseen, giving him a remarkable win percentage of 72.4%. City have scored 921 goals during that period, at an average of 2.46 goals per game." 

Guardiola said: “I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years.

“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.”
