Liverpool FC fans respond to Pep Guardiola's new contract at Man City

Liverpool fans have responded to the news that Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract at Manchester City.

The club confirmed a new deal for the Spaniard on Thursday which will take him up to 2023 and ends speculation he could leave the club in May.

On his new deal, Guardiola told ManCity.com: “Ever since I arrived at Manchester City I have been made to feel so welcome in the Club and in the city itself- from the players, the staff, the supporters, the people of Manchester and the Chairman and Owner.

"Since then we have achieved a great deal together, scored goals, won games and trophies, and we are all very proud of that success.

“Having that kind of support is the best thing any manager can have. I have everything I could possibly want to do my job well and I am humbled by the confidence the Owner, Chairman, Ferran and Txiki have shown in me to continue for two more years after this season.

“The challenge for us is to continue improving and evolving, and I am very excited and about helping Manchester City do that.”

The 'rivalry' between Jurgen Klopp and Guardiola has become a staple in recent years with the best two teams in the Premier League producing classic encounters as they jockey for the league title.

Here's how Liverpool fans have responded to the news.

Guardiola's new contract will take him until 2023, which is still one year earlier than Klopp's current deal, which expires in 2024.

Liverpool next face Manchester City February 6 at Anfield, in a clash that could go a long way to deciding this year's crown.
