# Manchester City: Fans desperate for Pep Guardiola to stay after ‘happy’ pledge

**Speaking in a [press conference](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-pep-guardiola-future-19193947), manager Pep Guardiola hinted at his desire to remain in Manchester past his contract expiry – claiming that he is ‘happy’ and wants to do a good job in order to stay longer.**

Guardiola, who took over at the Etihad Stadium back in 2016 to succeed Manuel Pellegrini, has gone on to guide the Sky Blues to domestic trophies galore – winning two Premier League titles, three Carabao Cups, two Community Shields and an FA Cup during his tenure in charge ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pep-guardiola/erfolge/trainer/5672)).

Even though City have so far failed to get past the Champions League quarter-final stage under Guardiola, their steady collection of silverware and electric brand of football has prompted supporters to plead for the Spaniard’s extension.

RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann has been [tipped as Guardiola’s successor](https://www.goal.com/en/news/if-guardiola-goes-nagelsmann-perfect-man-city-goater-rb/1rdz027o3mjwc1xbw6tplq0dgv) recently, but these Citizens want their boss to stay at Eastlands as long as possible after the manager’s pledge.
