The high-functioning football robot that is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will continue to operate until at least 2025. And that is far from ideal news for the rest of the Premier League – especially those who have aspirations of winning the title.
“I can’t say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me," said Guardiola after his two-year contract extension was confirmed this morning. "I am happy and comfortable here. I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible.
“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.”
