Khaldoon Al-Mubarak reveals Manchester City's stance on Pep Guardiola's future

Manchester City are well positioned to build on their success over the last decade to achieve his ambitions for the club over the next ten years, according to the City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak. Sheikh Mansour's trusted chairman also detailed what persuaded him to offer Pep Guardiola a new contract after the pair met in November, before feeding back to the owner, as Al-Mubarak offered an insight into the club's intention to try and keep their illustrious manager after 2023. Speaking in his end of season interview, Al-Mubarak said of the owner: "I know Sheikh Mansour is immensely proud. "His vision going back to 2008 of what he expected and wanted in the next 10-12 years, I think has been achieved. As we look at the next ten years, his vision of what he hopes to achieve with this club, I believe we are well positioned to achieve that. "We look at the past with pride. I look at the future with foundations. Today the foundation is there. The blocks have been built, the foundation is strong, the confidence is there. This journey continues and I look forward to it." "I never had a doubt," he said, going into his meeting with the Guardiola before they agreed a new contract for the manager. "It's easy to say in hindsight. Pep's record speaks for itself. His record with us here at this club. Seeing his passion, his work ethic, his commitment. You cannot be but confident. Another important thing with Pep is his humanity. He's a very special human being. I knew he was in a tough spot, a low point in November just before he signed his contract. "I look back to our meeting back then when we saw together, had long discussions, and really had that refresh, that realignment. We needed to look each other in the eye and have that. I saw a man that was so disappointed in his mind for not delivering what he felt he needed to deliver for this club. A man that had so much hunger and desire but just wanted to deliver and felt that he let us down. “After we agreed, I told Sheikh Mansour, 'I think we're going to win this Premier League this year, I think we're going to go far in the Champions League.' He looked at me and said, 'You got that from that meeting? Two/three days with Pep?' And I said, 'Yes'. "As long as he can and is able, without a shadow of a doubt we'll do everything we can to keep Pep at this club. We need to enjoy the season now and the season after which he's committed to. "To the fans I say be positive, be confident, enjoy these moments. Enjoy this season, and we'll take it one season at a time." Source- MEN Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
