The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss is nearing the final six months of his deal at the Etihad Stadium, with speculation linking him with a move away from the club, with sporting director Txiki Begiristin also set to step down.

However, The Athletic, a famous media outlet from England, reported that Pep is close to reaching an agreement on a new contract with the Sky ทางเข้า ufabet, which will be extended by another year from the original short-term.

“But at the same time, when the situation comes and the problems we had in the last month, I felt now is not the time to leave, I would let the club down and I had the feeling I had to do it.

“Don’t ask me the reason why. Maybe the four defeats were the reason why and I felt I cannot leave. I felt the club still want me or had the fact that we were together and that’s the reason why we sign.

“Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here; we have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club.

The outlet also revealed that under the new deal, they also included an option to extend it for another 12 months after that.
