Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola says the club’s owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, wants him to stay in charge of the club beyond his current three-year contract.

“He would like that I stay here for a long, long, long, long time. But of course it depends on the results,” said Guardiola.

“If not, they would say: What happened? What can we do? What do we need to improve? That’s the process. To finish the process, they are going to help us. We didn’t speak about targets. They will be happy if we win. I know we have to win but I’ve handled that in the past and I will in the present.”
