Pep Guardiola agrees one-year extension with Manchester City

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, is expected to sign a new one-year deal at the Etihad Stadium including a one-year extension option. According to The Athletic, Guardiola is in the final year of his current deal with Manchester City, but he plans to stay alongside the Premier League team for the rest of his career. 

The former manager of Bayern Munich and Barcelona has agreed to stay for a further 12 months, with a one-year extension option included. It is anticipated that City will soon formally announce Guardiola's new deal, ending any rumors over his future.

With his new deal, Pep Guardiola will have spent more than ten years with the team, where he has had incredible success. During his tenure at the Etihad Stadium, the Spaniard has taken home six English Premier League championships, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and the UEFA Champions League.

However, City is now going through a challenging season while they await the outcome of a hearing on their 115 alleged financial rule violations. Prior to the international break, Guardiola's team had lost their past four games in a row, demonstrating their current on-field difficulties.

Pep Guardiola and the inconsistent Manchester City

After losing four straight games for the first time since beginning his managerial career, Pep Guardiola is presently having his worst run as City's manager. In fact, since Stuart Pearce took over as manager in August 2006, this is the first occasion City has dropped four straight games. Guardiola would not want to land in further misery in their upcoming games. Manchester City are still in the title race but would not want to drop more points.

When the English Premier League winners play Tottenham Hotspur inside the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, they will attempt to snap their losing streak. The next weekend, Pep Guardiola's team travels to Anfield to play Liverpool after playing Feyenoord during the UEFA Champions League.
