Pep Guardiola will become
Manchester City head coach on 1 July after the club confirmed the Spaniard has signed a three-year deal, with Manuel Pellegrini stating he is content with the decision.
A statement issued by the club said: “Manchester City can confirm that in recent weeks it has commenced and finalised contractual negotiations with
Pep Guardiola to become MCFC Head Coach for the 2016/17 EPL season onwards.
“The contract is for three years. These negotiations were a re-commencement of discussions that were curtailed in 2012.
Out of respect for Manuel Pellegrini and the players, the Club wishes to make its decision public to remove the unnecessary burden of speculation.
Manuel, who is fully supportive of the decision to make this communication, is entirely focused on achieving his targets for the season ahead and retains the respect and commitment of all involved with the leadership of the Club.”
