Manchester City signing Erling Haaland in the summer transfer window was a key factor in Pep Guardiola’s decision to sign a new contract with the club.
City announced on Wednesday that Guardiola had put pen to paper on a new two-year extension which will see him stay at the club until June 2025. It was a major statement of intent for the defending Premier League champions, considering his previous deal was due to expire at the end of this season.
If he sees out the contract, Guardiola, who spent four years at Barcelona and three with Bayern Munich, will have been with City for nine years. “I am happy and comfortable, and I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible,” he said upon signing his new deal.
