Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he is very comfortable at the club and is relaxed about the remaining 18 months on his current contract.
The 51-year-old has just under 18 months remaining on his current deal, though first-team players are reportedly expecting the Spaniard to extend his stay with the club.
Ahead of his side’s return to Premier League football against Brentford on Wednesday night, Pep Guardiola has lifted the lid on his future in his latest press conference.
“I’m here six years because we won a lot. I came because many people convinced me. It [staying longer] depends on the results.”
“No more than that. I have one and a half years left on my contract, which is a long time when you look around at world football,” he explained.
These Guardiola’s comments on his future were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

Guardiola has excelled at Man City since joining the club in the summer of 2016, winning 10 trophies including three Premier League titles, but success with the Citizens in the Champions League still eludes him.
City are on course to clinch a fourth top-flight crown under the Spaniard’s tutelage, as they currently sit nine points clear at the summit, though Liverpool in second do have a game in hand.
