IT WILL be the kind of news to send a shiver down the spine of rival managers at home and abroad.
Pep Guardiola is staying at Manchester City until 2026 at least, with the option to extend his deal by another 12 months.
The City manager will now focus on extending a legacy that has already seen him land a staggering 18 trophies since arriving in Manchester in 2016.
It also means Mikel Arteta, Arne Slot and company will have to continue the seemingly impossible challenge of competing against the best manager in the business.
Good luck with that, fellas.
City’s intention to secure Guardiola’s services on a fresh deal were never in doubt. Owner Sheikh Mansour flew him to Abu Dhabi last month to talk the former Barcelona manager into putting pen to paper.
Mansour issued a reminder to the Catalan that he was still viewed as the greatest manager in the world, someone who had even more Premier League and Champions League titles to win.
