Man City: Pep Guardiola and Manchester City reach an agreement on a two-year contract extension.

According to reports that emerged on Tuesday afternoon, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have agreed to a two-year contract extension.

The Catalan coach signed a two-year extension back in 2020, and he is now nearing the end of his current contract. The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach resisted the enormous temptation to discuss his predicament at the club. But now that the club season is on hold while Qatar prepares to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Manchester City executives and Pep Guardiola have the perfect opportunity to meet and plan the next course of action.

An option was chosen over the course of the weekend, and news of the result was released on Tuesday. Pep Guardiola has recently reached a two-year contract extension, the Athletic reports. The manager will remain with the team under this new contract till 2025. The contract will be set up as an initial one-year agreement with both the club and the manager having the option for an additional season, according to additional details from the article. Therefore, if it were judged essential, any partner may decide to stop it sooner. The agreement Pep Guardiola signed in November 2020 will have the same format as this one.

Pep is set to sign a 2-year contract extension with Manchester City.

According to another information from Jack Gaughan of the Mail, Pep Guardiola is now in Abu Dhabi with club representatives. It is emphasized that the 51-year-old manager is also believed to be content with his position as manager of Manchester City. According to the Mail, many close to the Catalan think he can keep bringing prosperity to the city. Before the World Cup, Guardiola answered questions regarding his future at Manchester City during a pre-game news conference.

Before the Premier League match against Brentford, Guardiola said “(Would I) stay in another place for seven years? No, I don’t think so. It is difficult to find what I have here as a manager.

“To be a manager for a long time you need to be so supported. The results help a lot, that is undeniable. In this world they sack you, they fire you, we know that.

“But, at big clubs, part of the success of the manager is the chairman, the sporting director especially, the CEOs and all the people here.

“It goes to the media, fans and players. There is stability. This is why I think only in few clubs this can happen.”

On December 22, Manchester City will play Liverpool in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, returning to competitive play. Before the first-team group resumes regular practice in early December, Pep Guardiola is anticipated to have signed his new contract.
