Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension with the Premier League champions on Thursday (May 17) that will keep him in the job until 2021.
Spaniard Guardiola joined City in 2016 on a three-year contract and led them to the Premier League title this year, 19 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
City became the first top-flight club to collect 100 points in a season and broke records for goals scored in a Premier League campaign (106), the most victories and best goal difference.
"I am so happy and excited. It's a pleasure to be able to work here," said Guardiola, who was named Manager of the Year by League Managers Association on Tuesday. "As a manager, you have to feel good to be with the players - and I feel good.
"I will focus on the desire of my players to become a better team and every day that's what I will try to do – to improve on the pitch and improve our players."
City also won the League Cup this year, giving Guardiola a total of 23 major trophies in nine seasons as a manager, but they were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by Premier League rivals Liverpool.
