Pep Guardiola explains Man City contract decision after suffering Liverpool setback

Pep Guardiola has explained he made the call to sign a new contract at Manchester City after receiving reassurance from his family to prolong his stay in England - with his decision reportedly coming after his side's defeat to Liverpool this season.

The Catalan coach took charge of City during the summer of 2016 and has been involved in high-quality battles for Premier League titles with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp since his appointment.

Guardiola has agreed a new two-year contract to keep him at the helm of the Sky Blues until 2025, following the lead of Klopp who put pen to paper on a fresh deal lasting until 2026 back in April.
