'There's something about Man City' - fans react as Pep Guardiola signs new contract

Manchester City have confirmed that manager Pep Guardiola has signed a new two-year contract to keep him at the club until 2025.

Guardiola's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the current season, but if he sees out the full course of his new deal then he will have spent nine years at City - five more than his successful spell in charge of Barcelona.

"I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years," said Guardiola. "I can’t say thank you enough to everyone at the club for trusting me. I am happy and comfortable, and I have everything I need to do my job as best as possible."

The manager has brought a period of unparalleled success to City, leading his team to four Premier League titles, four League Cup triumphs and one FA Cup.

"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."

Guardiola is clearly excited to see what the next two years hold for his side, as are City supporters. Here's what Blues had to say about Guardiola's new contract on Twitter:
