MANCHESTER, England — Pep Guardiola has signed a two-year contract extension to stay at Manchester City, the club announced Thursday.

The City manager's contract was due to expire at the end of the season.

The Catalan coach has overseen a period of unprecedented dominance since joining City in 2016. He has gone on to win six Premier League titles in seven years and also lifted the Champions League among 15 major trophies at the club.

Under him, City became the first team to win four-straight English league titles. He also led City to the treble in 2023, winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in one season - matching Manchester United's achievement in 1999.

Guardiola has managed City for longer than any his former clubs, having spent four years at Barcelona and three at Bayern Munich.
