• Spanish has managed 374 games in all competitions

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has extended his contract by two years, keeping him with the team through 2025, the English club said on Wednesday.

During his six years at the Etihad Stadium, the 51-year-old won 11 trophies, including four Premier League championships.

Spanish has managed 374 games in all competitions, and he has won 271 of them, for a phenomenal win rate of 72.4%. During that time, City has scored 921 goals, averaging 2.46 goals per game.

“I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years. I can’t say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable here. I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible,” said Guardiola in a club statement.

“I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last ten years, and it will happen in the next ten years because this club is so stable.

From day one I felt something special being here. I cannot be in a better place. I still have the feeling there is more we can achieve together and that is why I want to stay and continue fighting for trophies,” he added.

Manchester City, the reigning Premier League winners, are currently second in the standings this season, five points behind Arsenal, and will play RB Leipzig in the round of 16 of the Champions League in February.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the chairman, declared himself “delighted” to extend Guardiola’s contract.

“I am delighted that Pep’s journey with Manchester City Football Club will continue. He has already contributed so much to the success and fabric of this organisation, and it’s exciting to think what might be possible given the energy, hunger and ambition that he clearly still has,” said Al Mubarak.

“Under his very special leadership our first team has accomplished so much, whilst continuously playing, and constantly evolving, a City style of football that is admired the world over. Like every City fan, I am looking forward to what lies ahead,” he added.

Guardiola enjoyed golden eras of success at both Barcelona and Bayern Munich prior to Manchester City in the summer of 2016. With 14 medals in four years, including three La Liga championships and two Champions Leagues, he is Barca’s most successful manager. At Bayern, he later won three straight Bundesliga championships.
