He had been tight-lipped when asked in the lead-up to the tournament whether he could discuss a fresh deal then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guardiola, who will receive a rise on his reported \u00a320m-a-year salary, has led City to four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, four League Cups and one Champions League final, which was lost to Chelsea in May last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2022\/nov\/22\/jude-bellingham-is-a-shining-example-of-england-emerging-generation-world-cup\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guardiola\u2019s renewed commitment is a sizeable fillip to the club as they continue the process of renewing the squad and adding fresh competition. Kevin De Bruyne will be 32 in June and although Guardiola said this season there was no sign that his number-one midfielder\u2019s powers were waning, he accepts replacing the Belgian will be hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One candidate is Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Jude Bellingham, who is 19 and impressed in England\u2019s 6-2 win over Iran in their opening group match at the World Cup on Monday. Guardiola is an admirer. \u201cThe quality and skills, everyone knows about it, but it\u2019s not just about that,\u201d he has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s about the whole package. He\u2019s really good. He\u2019s already in the national team playing with them at 19. That\u2019s quite impressive. When he was [as young as] 17, it wasn\u2019t just the quality, it was about he was shouting, leading, kicking, and going to the referee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thought that this guy was something special in terms of that mentality. Now, at 19 years old, he is already one of the captains of [Dortmund] and, when that happens at 19, it is quite impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola has signed a new one-year contract at Manchester City with an option of a further 12 months in a deal that could stretch his supremely successful tenure to 2025.
