LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension with the Premier League champions on Thursday that will keep him in the job until 2021. Spaniard Guardiola joined City in 2016 on a three-year contract and led them to the Premier League title this year, 19 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. City became the first top-flight club to collect 100 points in a season and broke records for goals scored in a Premier League campaign (106), the most victories and best goal difference. "We are delighted to announce the extension of Pep's contract through to 2021," club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said in a statement on City's website. If Guardiola sees out the deal, it will represent his longest spell in charge of one club.
