"This is a reward from the club for me," said Pep Guardiola after signing a two-year contract extension with Man City. "This club means a lot to me. This is my ninth season here. We have had great moments together. I have a very special relationship with this club. That's why I'm very happy to stay for two more seasons," added the Spaniard.
Coach Pep Guardiola stays, striker Erling Haaland will also stay at Man City
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a transfer news expert: "In coach Pep Guardiola's new contract, there is no contract termination clause. This means that in case Man City is relegated if they are found to have committed financial misconduct, coach Pep Guardiola will still lead the team."
In the new contract, coach Pep Guardiola is awarded a "huge" salary by Man City of up to about 19 million pounds/year. This is the highest salary in the Premier League and among the top in the world.
According to Marca (Spain): "Coach Pep Guardiola's decision is more personal than sporting, meaning he cares more about his family's thoughts than the possible situation with the club and the players, because he still feels comfortable there. Even the coach's closest associates do not know much about the personal decision he made."
Coach Pep Guardiola helped Man City win 6 Premier League titles, including the last 4 consecutive seasons.
"I've said it many times, but I have everything a coach could want and I appreciate it very much. Hopefully now we can win more titles than the ones we've won. That will be my target," coach Pep Guardiola emphasized.
He also said: "Many people still wonder why I stay? Well, I feel like I can't leave right now. It's that simple. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's because of the last 4 defeats that I feel like I can't leave."
Coach Pep Guardiola has been with Man City for 9 seasons now, winning 1 Champions League title, 6 Premier League titles, including 4 consecutive seasons recently, setting a record for the first time. He also has 1 Club World Cup title, 2 FA Cup titles, 4 League Cup titles, European Super Cup and 3 FA Community Shield titles.
