Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, has signed a one-year extension to his contract. According to reports, the new deal reportedly allows him to stay with the club for another decade.

Despite this, the club remains second in the Premier League, five points behind league leaders Liverpool, and there are high expectations for Guardiola and his team to turn this around.
Guardiola has previously signed numerous extensions before, although he had made comments in the past suggesting that he was leaning towards leaving at some point.
