Guardiola today put pen to paper on a two-year deal which will see him go past a decade of service for the Blues.
And, after the intense highs of the Treble and Four-in-a-Row over the past two years, the iconic manager is ready to steer City back on course in 2024/25.
“Every time I sign the contract, it’s for the last two and after I re-sign the contract I say okay the last two and still we are here,” he said.
“So honestly I think myself, my staff and friends, I think we deserve to be here. I am sorry to say.
“I am not arrogant to say, but it’s the truth. I think we deserve after four defeats in a row to bounce back and try to turn the situation.
“In that moment, in the period, I had the feeling you have to take the right decisions for the future and I want to take it.
“The Treble was a dream come true and the Champions League, especially for this club and of course we make the four in a row which no team has done before. It has been amazing.
“But you have a past, been lessons and mistakes that we have overcome to arrive in the moment where you are more stable and more consistent.
“We have to recover that because right now we don’t have it and that’s the target we have to do.”
