"Manchester City" announced that they have extended the contract with coach Pep Guardiola. The Catalan's contract, who arrived in the Premier League in 2016, was still valid until the end of the next season, but he agreed to tie his future with the "City" for two more additional years. "I am very happy and excited. Having the opportunity to work here is pleasant," Guardiola told the official club website. "I enjoy every day working with our players, and in the coming years, we will try to show our best. As a coach, you must feel good with your footballers, and I feel good." "I will focus on my players' passion to become a better team, and that's what I will try to do every day - improve on the field and help our footballers improve. We have a young squad, with an average age of 23, and we want to continue moving forward and maintain the same level we achieved this season." This year, "Man City" has been breaking one record after another, and Guardiola's retention until 2021 is a great achievement for the club. While coaching "Barcelona," he used to only agree to extend contracts for one year, and at one point he even said that he would prefer to only sign six-month contracts.
