Reports state that Pep Guardiola has “agreed a new contract” to stay with Manchester City past the end of this season.
For several months, there has been uncertainty around Guardiola’s long-term future at Man City. It was uncertain if he would sign an extension when he entered the last year of his contract in the summer.
Since joining Man City in 2016, the Spaniard has led the team to six league victories, earning him a reputation as one of the best managers in Premier League history. They have also won their first Champions League under his leadership.
After England lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, Guardiola was suggested as Gareth Southgate’s long-term replacement. When questioned about the position, he remained reticent; however, the FA Cup chose to name Thomas Tuchel, a former manager of Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
Sam Lee of The Athletic has taken action to deny a rumor that stated earlier this month that Guardiola had finalized a “agreement” for his future position.
The trustworthy reporter revealed on X on Tuesday night that Guardiola has “agreed to sign a new contract” and that an announcement is anticipated in a few days. According to the report, this deal is structured in this way.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has agreed to a new one-year contract extension with the possibility of an extra year.
The 53-year-old’s current contract with City was set to expire at the conclusion of this season, and if the new agreement is accepted, Guardiola would have managed the team for more than ten years.
This work has been supported by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. He declared: Pep Guardiola has committed to a further season at Manchester City!
the new deal will be in effect until June 2025, with the possibility of an extension until June 2026.
Man City had dropped their last four games in all competitions prior to the international break. Guardiola, however, stated that he is excited about the possibility of leading his team out of this challenging time.
Following the third of those losses against Sporting Lisbon, Guardiola declared, “I am here, but it is a tough challenge.” We were aware from the beginning that this season would be difficult. However, this is the situation. I want to tackle it, encourage my players, and give it a shot because I enjoy and adore it.
