Guardiola said in a statement: “I am very grateful to be staying at Manchester City for another two years.
He added: I can’t thank everyone in the club enough for their trust in me, I am happy and relaxed and have everything I need to do my job fully.
He said: I know the next break with this club will be amazing for the next decade, it has happened in the last ten years and it will happen in the next ten years because the club is very stable. He added: From day one, I felt something great about being here, I couldn’t be in a better place.
Guardiola concluded by saying: I still have the feeling that we can achieve more together, and that’s why I would like to stay and keep fighting for the titles.
