The 51-year-old expressed joy at the extension of his contract and assured success in the next two years.
“I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years, I can’t say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable here. I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible,” Guardiola said.
“I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last 10 years, and it will happen in the next 10 years, because this club is so stable.
“From day one, I felt something special being here. I cannot be in a better place. I still have the feeling [that] there is more we can achieve together, that is why I want to stay and continue fighting for trophies.”
Guardiola also had a special message for City fans.
