Guardiola's decision to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium is a boost to City as they wait to discover if they will be punished after being charged with 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules – charges the club deny completely.
Guardiola took charge at City in 2016 and has since led them to six Premier League titles, with the last four coming in succession – an English record.
