‘Yes Please!’, ‘3 year extension inbound’ – Man City fans react as Pep Guardiola hints at long-term commitment

Pep Guardiola has given the clearest indication that he is willing to commit to a long-term contract extension at Manchester City, insisting he would be willing to stay at the club for a decade.

Guardiola has repeatedly expressed his happiness with life at City, but has always been cautious about discussing the length of his stay – largely because he knows that any manager is subject to the fortunes of the game.

But ahead of Sunday’s big showdown with Liverpool he made it plain that, if he has his way, he could stay for the long term.

The Blues boss made that remarkable claim after being linked with the Brazil coach job when his current City deal expires at the end of next season, saying he would sign a ten-year deal if offered one.

“Not today, come on. I’m under contract here. I’m so happy here. I’m willing to stay forever here. Cannot be a better place to be,” Guardiola said.

“I’d extend the contract ten years, but I would not extend the contract ten years. Now is not the moment. I don’t know where it’s come from.”

These Guardiola’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“I know this isn’t him literally saying he will do it, but I feel like you don’t constantly answer questions about extending with “yeah I could definitely do that, everything here is perfect” if you’re gonna turn around in 2023 and go “nah don’t fancy this lads, I’m off”.”
