Pep Guardiola could soon renew one more year at Manchester City, with the option of another, under an agreement he would have reached with the club to extend his relationship, as reported by the English media The Athletic, and has been able to confirm BRAND from sources close to the protagonists. The Spanish coach’s contract expired at the end of this 2024/25 season and will continue to lead the ‘cityzen’ project, at least, until 2026.
Those same sources tell us that the agreement could become official even this Thursday or Friday. Always be very cautious, as it is not official. It was a decision that depended exclusively on Pep and his family environment, not even his closest collaborators. And on the part of the club there is no problem with either an extension of years or money. Therefore, if Pep said yes, that’s how it was going to be, and that’s how it seems that it’s going to be.
More than a decade at Manchester City
It should be remembered that Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City for the 2016/17 season and, if he fulfills his new contract to the letter, he will be in charge of the current Premier League champions whom he converted for the first time for more than a decade. in his history as champion of the Champions League last 2023. A brilliant stage in his career in which he has already won 18 titles and where this year he is in second position in the league, five points behind Liverpool, the leader.
A year in which he has lost four consecutive defeats in all competitions for the first time at Manchester City, but he assured: “It is a difficult challenge, but I am here. It will be a difficult season, we knew it from the beginning. But this is what it is. I like it, I love it, I want to face it and help my players and try. More than ever, I want to lift the team and return it to its highest level,” he said after losing to Sporting Lisbon (4-1) in the Champions League. A promise that seems to be fulfilled beyond this season.
