Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he could not leave the club after suffering four consecutive defeats for the first time in his coaching career. <\/b><\/p>\n

Guardiola has signed a two-year contract with City which will keep him at the club until 2027.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old Spaniard joined City in 2016 and has won 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles.<\/p>\n

His contract had been due to expire at the end of the current season, and he signs a new deal on the back of defeats to Tottenham, Brighton, Sporting and Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

“I felt I could not leave now. Maybe the four defeats was why,” Guardiola told the club’s website.<\/p>\n

“I think we deserve, after four defeats in a row, to bounce back and try to turn the situation. I think we deserve to be here. I am not arrogant to say, but it’s the truth.”<\/p>\n

Guardiola said he is determined to help City “overcome” their current difficult predicament and reach a level where they “are more stable and more consistent” to scale the heights of the past. <\/p>\n

“We have to recover that because right now we don’t have it and that’s the target we have to do,” he added.<\/p>\n

It is the first time Guardiola has endured such a streak of losses – excluding penalty shootouts – in his managerial career.<\/p>\n

Guardiola also said that being in charge of City “means so much” to him and he has “everything a manager could ever wish for” at the club.<\/p>\n

“This is my ninth season here. We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus.”<\/p>\n

It was reported that Guardiola had agreed a new contract<\/a> on Wednesday and the club confirmed the news a day later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
