Guardiola also confirms Ruben Dias is still out with an injury but hopes he will return soon.
Pep says he will stay even if City are relegated. “I will be here. Next year, we will come up – I don’t know if it’s from the Conference – we will come up, and come up, and we will come back to the Premier League…”
Away from his new contract, Pep Guardiola says Mateo Kovacic will miss “a few weeks or a month” through injury.
Asked why he has signed a two-year extension and not just one, he jokes: “For the weather!
More seriously, he says: “I didn’t want next season to be about Pep’s last year. I would like to stay for two more years.”
