Pep Guardiola's stay at Man City to go beyond a DECADE as he agrees new contract

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has agreed a new rolling one-year deal to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium until at least the end of next season.

Guardiola's current contract was due to expire next summer and so there were questions over whether or not this would be his final campaign in charge.

However, these now appear to have been quashed as he has agreed terms on a new deal.

The option for an extra year means he would reach a decade at City should he remain as manager for that long.

It is understood that the agreement was made during the current international break and Guardiola told the club he'd stay in October.
