Pep Guardiola has reportedly reached an agreement with Manchester City to extend his contract for one more season, with an option for an additional year, according to Sam Lee of The Athletic. With this renewal, the Catalan coach will remain tied to the club until June 2025, ensuring stability for the Citizens’ project.

This decision comes at a crucial time, as the club faces uncertainty due to a potential Financial Fair Play sanction. Despite the challenges, Guardiola has chosen to stay and oversee a squad rebuild following the departure of key players. His commitment also strengthens the club’s position in securing the futures of stars like Erling Haaland.

The agreement was facilitated by the new sporting director, Hugo Viana, who recently replaced Txiki Begiristain, a key figure in the club’s recent success. Under Guardiola’s leadership, Manchester City has secured numerous titles, including six Premier League trophies and their first-ever Champions League, making him the most decorated manager in the club’s history.

This extension confirms that Guardiola will remain the cornerstone of Manchester City’s sporting ambitions as they aim to stay at the top of European football.
