The long-awaited negotiations are over and Manchester City have found common ground with Pepe Guardiola, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish pilot will extend his contract at the Etihad Stadium when the original one was due to expire at the end of this season. Citizens fans can thus rejoice, big successes will probably be taken care of.
Guardiola has been on the bench of Citizens for almost 7 years now, during which he has really experienced a lot of success and titles. However, he still hasn’t achieved one and that is the most valuable one that everyone at the club has been craving for for a long time.
Under the Spanish coach, Manchester City has not yet won the Champions League trophy, while in the Premier League they have already enjoyed 4 times, as well as in the English Cup and once in the FA Cup.
This is a repeat of history at Bayern Munich, where one of the best coaches in the world has also collected trophy after trophy, but the Eared Cup has not and will not come into his arms.
Manchester City seem unwilling to accept this fact and that is why they brought in the most feared hitman currently running around European turf in pre-season.
And that the move has been successful is suggested by Erling Haaland’s numbers this season:: 13 league games = 18 goals. Moreover, Guardiola has really great support from everyone in the blue part of Manchester.
When you win the Premier League 4 times in 5 years and add a number of other trophies to that, it’s hard to imagine the owners considering sacking him.
This was confirmed a while ago by Fabrizio Romano, who revealed the details of the ongoing negotiations, which according to the Italian journalist are over and the club will soon issue an official statement.
Guardiola is expected to extend his contract with the Citizens for another two years. That’s three more attempts in the Champions League, it could be going well…
