Manchester City extending the contract of Pep Guardiola is good because he has been a good coach to them and their team and his presence has brought so many trophies to the them, the Premier League is already looking hot because the clubs now understand the rate of competition in the league every coach will ensure he secures his job by doing good job to the team. The coaches you mentioned will make the league more interesting, pep Guardiola still has a chance in the league despite the lead that Liverpool is enjoying now, I believe Chelsea manager and the current manager of Manchester United will also post push their teams to ensure they compete for the title this season.

After the signature was secured the question is how many more premier league titles can Pep Guardiola get in the next years that he'll be at the club and can the coaches that you mentioned be able to stop him from winning more trophies. I also think Pep Guardiola focus should have been shifted from England to Europe. Manchester city owners will like Pep Guardiola to win them more champions league trophies as that's where the bragging rights are. Manchester United has 3, Chelsea has 2 and some other smaller clubs have 1 and that's the same as Manchester city. They should be in the numbers closer to Liverpool's that has 6 or more than them for complete domination.

The right and fast step taken by Manchester City management to extend Pep Gauridola's contract until 2027, this answers all the speculation so far that Pep Gauridola wants to leave Man City after winning everything.
Of course this will be good enough for Man City, no one doubts Pep Gauridola even though currently (in the last 4 matches) the Manchester City team is in a slump, but with Pep Gauridola's experience I am sure he will be able to solve the current problem.
And for the whole Mahcester City team nothing will change, as long as Pep Gauridola is still the coach, it is likely that the Man City team will be able to get stronger.

Liverpool competed for Premier League title last season while Chelsea were in crisis and failed to end the last season in top four. This season, they both have new coaches but Slot has better legacy from Klopp than Maresca from Pochettino. They are playing well with their targets in this season, at its beginning, is to have a position in top four. I believe that Liverpool did not imagine that they could fight for Premier League title in this season, but with what they have now, a first position after almost one-third of season, they can start to think of the league trophy.

With Chelsea, things are good for them in this season and top four in the league at the season ending, is very possible and achievable for them too. Chelsea will need one or two more seasons, don't count this season, to become stronger and more competitive enough for fighting Premier League trophy with other competitors like Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester City are smart and they don't want to separate with a coach who helped their club dominating Premeir League with 6 titles in last 7 seasons, and with one Champions League tittle, a first ever in their club history. Pep Guardiola will require more players from transfer market next summer season, to improve his squad and replace some old players. This contract betwen Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will make Premier League more exciting, as other clubs and coaches will have to break their own limits, to beat Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, and break their domination in the league.

With the extension of Pep Gauridola contract, it is a sign that the Premier League will be even more exciting, because the coaches of each club such as Enzo Maresca, Arne Slot, Arteta and even Amorim will certainly be challenged to compete to the maximum. And for the time being Arne Slot has put Liverpool in an ideal position. Man City really doesn't want to lose Pep Guardiola because they know that only he can understand the club's needs.

It makes sense, Chelsea quality is still below Liverpool, maybe when compared to Arsenal and Man City (when several key players are injured) it's a bit more balanced. It is necessary to improve the quality of the squad to compete for the championship because the EPL has several strong teams that always consistently maintain their best performance. Enzo Maresca still needs time to find a suitable formation, but since he was appointed head coach, Chelsea performance has improved.

if you ask me, Chelsea has a bit of a chance of winning the title because their material squad is not good enough to compare with Liverpool. Maybe their squad looks balanced when compared with Arsenal and Manchester City (at the moment when some of the players are injured). But when compared directly to Liverpool, Chelsea's squad is a bit weak, and Enzo Maresca it also not so good at team management when placing player positions. Cole Palmer should be a little bit behind so that the opposing player doesn't realize him if he comes forward suddenly. So when I look at him now, he's too up front, so the opponent defender knows and guarding it strictly.

Yes, Amorim was indeed successful when he was a coach at Sporting CP, his achievements at the club are indeed worthy of thumbs up. But the problem is that currently he is coaching a big team like Manchester United which has many star players in it. So I think the pressure will be much greater than when Amorim was a coach at Sporting CP. The reason is that managing star players at Manchester United is certainly not an easy thing. The reason is that the bad performance that occurred at Manchester United was also caused by Ten Hag's inappropriate strategy. However, another factor was also caused by Ten Hag who was not able to manage the players at Manchester United well. It was proven that while at Manchester United, Ten Hag had several bad relationships with his players. So, this will certainly be quite a challenge for Amorim.

Apart from that, if we look back at Ten Hag, when he was a coach at Manchester United, Ten Hag also had a very good record with the team he coached before joining Manchester United, namely Ajak. While coaching at Ajak, Ten Hag was able to bring extraordinary success, namely by winning 4 consecutive seasons in the Eredivisie. However, while coaching Manchester United, Ten Hag was unable to talk much, and almost every season Ten Hag actually made Manchester United's performance decline. So with this, I don't think Amorim will necessarily be able to achieve great success at Manchester United, if we compare it with the story of Ten Hag. Because even though Amorim does have a pretty good record at Sporting CP, this still won't be a big guarantee to bring a team as big as Manchester United back from its downturn.

Manchester United have played the last four matches in which they have not lost a match and here they have won three matches. 

Ipswich Town is not a strong team and the position of this team is number 17 in the Premier League, so Manchester United will definitely go to the field to get full points before going into this match. Manchester United will have the possibility of getting one step ahead of the points table if they can get full points in this match. The fact that they are unbeaten in their last four matches is a big reason for their confidence and this confidence will help them perform well in the next matches. Millions of United fans now expect Manchester United to perform well under the new manager.

Yeah I also want to see other teams that win the title this season not Manchester City they have dominated since the last few seasons. At first I wanted to see Arsenal win the title but so far they did not play optimally and yeah even if Liverpool were not a problem either. What do you think about Chelsea, don't they have a chance this season? based on performance, Chelsea looks better than last season and just need a little more stable in the game.

For now sportsbook puts Liverpool at the top as a winner Manchester City in 2nd position and Arsenal in 3rd position yeah, of course this is not final because there are still many matches left and there is still a possibility of change.

Personally I would like Liverpool to win because they are a tough team, they have very good players, the coach agrees with his guards, I think they have everything, but be careful, because Pep wakes up his players and can give them a big push to get back into form , City always go through tough times like this in the PL, but they always end up getting back to their new level, for now Liverpool have to take all the points they can by winning and winning games to get the advantage , to keep that precious first place for as long as it is so difficult to reach and especially to maintain.

I think maybe the last four failures have made Pep feel like he can't leave. Plus litigation for Manchester City. Manchester City is very special to Pep, he cannot leave them when they are weak. He is a real leader.  I think Pep wanted to leave when Manchester City were at their peak, not when Manchester City were at a dead end like this. With the new contract, we can expect more records and glory under the hands of this talented strategist.


While other teams hoped Pep would leave to regain their title chances, his decision to extend his contract has set that dream back years.  Manchester City fans are certainly happier than ever because their team simply continues to retain the best coach in the world. So do you know who else is feeling down after this breaking news? My guess is Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man United.

I don’t think we all surprised about this decision of his to renew his contract, I was actually looking towards not that there was strong rumour of him trying to jump the ship after his contract expires which was true but with the recent Manchester city form I was convinced he will not step down or leave at this critical moment, leaving them in a position like this will give many people the perspective that he left while the ship was sinking. Two year is a good year to actually re organize this team back to the top and after this present or signed contract I don’t think he is going to add another contract same this goes to some of the players with the ones with two years left I think they will Also not be signing a new contract by then

It is good of Pep for choosing to stick longer with Manchester city irrespective of their present poor performance and the anticipated consequences of the litigation against them.
Pep is a huge part of Manchester city as there is no doubt that he shaped their history. Pep's extension is an extension of problem to English Premier league coaches. Many of them are just wishing he could just vanish, but it's unfortunate that Pep wants to stay a bit with the team.

Yeah it was expected since he is doing fine with his team, he hasn't any problem with the owners nor with the players, he won many trophies and he hasn't ambitions yet to train a national team. We heard a lot about him going to manage the Brazilian team but it appears to be false since he extended his contract with Manchester City.

We have seen before that any team can be challenged. Manchester City are not an invincible team at the moment and we have seen that in some games. Pep is a very successful manager but in some games his opponents can figure out his game. The Champions League is where teams prove themselves and the real deciding factor is success there. How the winner of the Premier League performs in the Champions League says a lot.

Liverpool have been doing very well this season and look set to continue. It is hard to say who will be champions yet but they are one of the biggest candidates.

I fear for any form of disappointment that will come after seeing all these talks of making UTD a more competitive team and all that by the new manager Amorim, if I'm the manager I'd learn from ETH on how he related with the players first, that didn't work and I'll find a better way of making this players understand me and I will understand them too. If these guys don't like you as a manager they will play you out of the club even if is to lose all the game in one season they are ready to do it, but if they like your style they'll do everything possible to make you happy by winning every game for you, see thats what was missing at ETH era.
Manchester United have good player but that connection between coach and players wasn't there so this man Amorim need to rearrange everything that has been there to make his stay a better one if not we might just be seeing a repeat of ETH again. At this stage if things work out well we might also be seeing a better Marcus Rashford. This player was suppose to be competing with Mbappe, Haaland and the other guys that are of the same age bracket who are doing well but he has not been up to expectation because of poor coaching, but things might be better for him with Amorim.

I doubt if nobody can actually stand Manchester City, because Liverpool in the premier League has been doing so well and are likely to get dominance at some point in the premier League this season and even in the champions League they have been doing so well too so they aren't like a team that should be underestimated. Pep is a good Coach but can still be challenged at some point and can be defeated just like it did happened in their last champions League game.

A good new for the whole of Manchester city family, I would say pep is currently the most influenced and decorated coach in football right and been able to hold on to him is a good deal for them, most of Manchester city rivals wanted pep to go because of his dominant in the league, there were even rumor of him going to coach the Brazil national team. As for pep I don't think there is anything left to prove in the Premier league again but maybe he is not yet ready for international work yet.

If pep and Manchester city should get hold of Florian wirtz that will be a big boost for them because currently Manchester city without Kelvin De Bryune lack creativity and for wirtz to come in will bring in more creativity and goals to them, definitely that going to be a huge boost for them only if they can battle Real Madrid for wirtz signature.

Pep Guardiola signs two-year Manchester City contract extension through to 2027

Pep Guardiola will remain Manchester City manager until the summer of 2027 after signing a two-year contract extension.

The Athletic exclusively reported on Tuesday that the 53-year-old had agreed fresh terms on a new deal to take him past 10 years service for the Premier League club, with his previous contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign.

City are on a run of four straight defeats in all competitions and Guardiola said he wanted to stay and help “turn the situation” around.

“I want to be honest, I thought this (season) should be the last one. But the problems we had in the last month, I felt now was not the time to leave. I didn’t want to let the club down,” he said.

He added: “Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here, we have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club. That is why I am so happy to be staying for another two more seasons.

“I have said this many times before, but I have everything a manager could ever wish for, and I appreciate that so much. Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus.”

Guardiola arrived at the Etihad Stadium in July 2016 and has masterminded an unprecedented period of success since then.

The Spaniard has won 18 trophies during his time in English football, including six Premier League titles — second in the all-time list behind former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson (13).
