Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is confident Johan Cruyff would’ve backed his decision to sign a new deal.
The Dutch international played for Barcelona during Guardiola’s childhood and then managed the club as Guardiola became a key figure in the Blaugrana’s midfield.
Guardiola feels that Cruyff, who died in 2016, would have been proud of the work he has done in Manchester so far.
He said: “I think he would say extend two more years the contract! I am pretty sure Johan Cruyff would say that.
“From above he is happy right now. Always I have the feeling of how sad about the fact he cannot be here to enjoy it with all of us. We are his sons, Txiki and myself.
“We talk about how nice it would be if he was here, but something he taught us or drove us with always is there.”
