Guardiola deal good news for Premier League - Slot

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's contract extension is "good news" for the Premier League, says Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Guardiola, who has led City since 2016, has signed a new two-year deal that will run until 2027.

City have won six Premier League titles under Guardiola - twice pipping Liverpool teams managed by Jurgen Klopp by just a point.

The Reds finished ahead of City to win the title in 2020, and the two clubs have established one of the main rivalries in the top flight

Slot succeeded Klopp in the summer and has guided Liverpool to the top of the Premier League - five points clear of second-placed City - after 11 games.
