Since joining Manchester City in 2016, Guardiola has won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and three League Cups.
The Spaniard appreciated the club’s support, which he says is the reason for the achievements he has had so far.
“We have achieved a great deal together, scored goals, won games and trophies, and we are all very proud of that success.Having that kind of support is the best thing any manager can have.” Guardiola told City’s website.
Guardiola is in his fifth year at the club, and the deal makes Manchester City the club he has given the longest commitment to since his managerial debut in 2008. His previous deal will be due at the end of the current season.
