Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has agreed to sign a one-year contract extension, according to reports.

The Spaniard’s present deal is due to expire at the end of the current season. If confirmed, the new agreement would take Guardiola’s tenure at the Etihad Stadium to 10 years.

Guardiola, 53, has won 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, since taking charge at City in 2016.

The news, which reportedly could be confirmed later this week, would also come at a critical juncture in City’s season. Hampered by injuries, the champions’ form has wavered of late with the team having lost their last four matches in all competitions, the worst run of Guardiola’s career.

Guardiola succeeded Manuel Pellegrini at City eight years ago after previous successful spells in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
