Guardiola takes decision on leaving Man City after losing to Real Madrid

 

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has chosen to extend his contract in order to eventually deliver the Champions League trophy.

This week, City experienced their latest humiliating defeat in the competition at the hands of Real Madrid.

Despite a 4-3 victory in the first leg, the Premier League champions were defeated 3-1 at the Bernabeu in the semi-finals.

Guardiola has yet to win European club football’s top title in six attempts since taking over as City manager in 2016.

The Spaniard, according to the UK Mirror, will not walk away and is ready to sign a contract extension that would keep him at the Etihad until 2025.

Guardiola’s latest failure has led to speculation the 51-year-old could decide to end his time at City at the end of next season, when his current deal expires.

Having won the Champions League twice as a coach with Barcelona, Guardiola has not lifted the trophy since 2011, coming up short at Bayern Munich and now City.
