Pep Guardiola hints at future Man City contract extension after 2023 treble success

Pep Guardiola is open to taking his reign at Manchester City into a 10th season - or he could leave the Etihad before his current contract expires.

Guardiola signed a two-year extension to his City contract in December, ending doubts over his future and taking his deal until the end of the 2024/25 season. After securing his immediate future, Guardiola led City to their third successive Premier League title, the FA Cup, and a debut Champions League success.

After a well-earned holiday, Guardiola will set about trying to defend City's treble - plus add the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup to their collection.

Ahead of the season opener vs Arsenal in the Community Shield, Guardiola confirmed he had no thoughts about resigning on a high after winning the Champions League, and even suggested that he could stay beyond his 2025 contract.

“I signed a contract for another two years because I feel comfortable - and nothing has changed whether we won (the treble) or didn’t win," he said.

“I am happy and the people are happy, the board and the hierarchy especially, because they decide in the end which manager is going to lead this group of players.

“If they are satisfied, I am still satisfied. I want to defend what we won and maybe at the end of the season, if I am tired, we will talk with the club - or maybe extend more.”

Guardiola also said he feels less pressure now having secured the Champions League, adding that two trophies on offer at the start of the season will help refocus minds after the high of last season.
