Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has agreed a one-year contract extension.

Although City are refusing to comment on a story that was first reported in the Athletic, multiple sources have confirmed Guardiola has agreed to sign a new deal to take his stay at the club to 10 years.

The 53-year-old joined City in 2016 and has won 18 trophies so far, including six Premier League titles.

His contract had been due to expire at the end of the current season. There have been suggestions the new agreement will have the option of a second year, although this is not known at this stage.

During his time in Manchester, Guardiola has seen City become just the second English men’s team to win the Treble – the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season.

They have also become the first team to win four successive English top-flight titles and to achieve 100 Premier League points.

City sit second in this season’s Premier League, five points behind leaders Liverpool, and have lost four successive games across all competitions.

That is the first time Guardiola has been on such a run – excluding shootouts – in his career.

After the most recent of those losses, a 2-1 defeat at Brighton, he said: “Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserve it.”
