Pep Guardiola agrees new Man City deal with special option inserted in contract

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reportedly agreed a new one-year contract to remain at the Etihad Stadium. The deal will include an option for the Spaniard to stay at the club for an additional 12 months, an extension that would keep him in Manchester until the summer of 2027.

Guardiola was appointed City boss in 2016 and has led the club to six Premier League titles, as well as Champions League and Club World Cup success.

Under his guidance, the north west giants have also been crowned FA Cup winners twice and have lifted the Carabao Cup trophy on four occasions.

Guardiola took the helm in Manchester following the departure of Manuel Pellegrini and won his first 10 games in charge. He had to wait until his second campaign to win a trophy, however, as he struggled to get to grips with the demands of Premier League football during his first winter in England.

The 53-year-old has revolutionised English football with his insistence on playing out from the back, a style that has been replicated by a host of teams throughout the football pyramid.

Speculation over Guardiola's future has been rife in recent months, with his current deal expiring next summer. But, according to , he has committed his future to his current employers by agreeing the new deal.
