It is a product of the mutual trust and respect that exists between him and the entire Club. It also goes to the stability and creativity at the heart of our football operations. Importantly it is a validation of the football structure and philosophy that has been built over more than a decade and to which he has contributed so much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure all City fans share my delight in this new agreement and in anticipating the exciting opportunities that, with continued hard work, are there to be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>City are believed to have offered Guardiola time during the recent international breaks to consider his future. As reported in Inside Football, City officials were\u00a0believed to be willing to wait until January for a decision. But the club will be delighted that the 49-year-old has agreed to the new deal.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking last month, Guardiola had indicated that his future at City hinged on this season\u2019s performance, saying: \u201cI\u2019m incredibly happy here, delighted to be in Manchester and hopefully I can do a good job this season to stay longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But with City currently tenth in the league and six points off the top, Guardiola has committed his long-term future. In a statement released by the club, Guardiola said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since I arrived at Manchester City I have been made to feel so welcome in the club and in the city itself- from the players, the staff, the supporters, the people of Manchester and the chairman and owner. Since then we have achieved a great deal together, scored goals, won games and trophies, and we are all very proud of that success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge for us is to continue improving and evolving, and I am very excited and about helping Manchester City do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under Guardiola Man City have won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, three League Cups and two Community Shields.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"cDmlBh3dCak\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One District One Factory: Weeds take over Savelugu Rice Factory - Adom TV News (21-11-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cDmlBh3dCak?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola has signed a new deal with Manchester City.
