Pep Guardiola has explained the role Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak played in his decision to sign a new contract with the club.
City have announced that Guardiola has penned a new two-year deal to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium to 2025. Should Guardiola see out the new deal then he will spend nine years at the club, five years longer than he has spent coaching any other side.
Pep explained that multiple factors influenced his decision, including the support he receives from the club, the players at his disposal and the happiness of his family to stay in Manchester for another two years. He also opened up on his relationship with City chairman Khaldoon, explaining that discussions over a new contract began at the end of last season but that he wasn't pressured into committing his future to the club.
