LONDON, May 17 -- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has signed a contract extension to the end of the 2020-21 campaign, the English Premier League champions announced on Thursday.

Guardiola, who joined in the summer of 2016, has just overseen the best season in the club's history, winning the Premier League title in record-breaking fashion, in addition to the League Cup secured in March after a 3-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley.

His deal means this is the longest commitment he has made a football Club since becoming a manager in 2008.

"I am so happy and excited. It's a pleasure to be able to work here," Guardiola said.

"I enjoy working with our players every day and we will try to do our best together in the coming years. As a manager, you have to feel good to be with the players - and I feel good.

"I will focus on the desire of my players to become a better team and every day that' s what I will try to do - to improve on the pitch and improve our players. We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and we want to keep taking steps forward and maintain the levels we've achieved this season."

Chief Executive Officer, Ferran Soriano, said: "Pep's new contract extension is fantastic news for Manchester City. We have all been privileged to witness how we have played beautiful football, won titles, broken records and reached the incredible mark of 100 Premier League points. Pep has shown this style can succeed in the Premier League in a way it has never been done before."
