In recent days, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, who has won the Premier League six times, has announced that he will stay for another year with the Citizens after this season.
After winning every trophy with the club, it was reported that he could be on his way to leaving the club after nine years of managing, but it seems that he has Guardiola has some more unfinished business at Manchester.
This news has shocked other Premier League managers due to their dominance over the years, but Liverpool‘s new manager Arne Slot seems excited about the challenge that awaits him and his players because the rivalry both teams had when Jurgen Klopp was still at the club.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City was the only team during the Jurgen Klopp years who prevented the Reds’s domination in the league, and the great news for the football fans is that the show will continue for another 18 months.
