One year always makes me think it’s a PR trick to avoid incessant speculation in his final year, like we did with Pellegrini.A one year extension seems a bit underwhelming if true!
I think if he fails in the Champions League again next season (that’s if we get knocked out by Liverpool) he will walk anyway with him coming out stating he has took us as far as he can and that a new coach need to take the team on.
I don’t think he is the type of manager to just hang around to stay in a job.
If he feels his time is done he will do it.

Just one year? Shit news to cap off a shit week.
Doubt he stays if there is no CL final this or next season. Or at least a CL semifinal.
And also he could take a year off like after Barca.
I think he lost his mojo regarding the CL the way he keeps losing with Bayern and now City is not a good tendency obviously it would have been impossible to stay on the level of his Barca career in terms of CL. (3 years, 2 times won the thing and third time lost in semis vs Mourinho's Inter, they won it that year).
He knows we brought him here after Mancini and Pellegrini to deliver big in CL for us. When he feels like he cant give that to us imo he wont tay after that.Thats why the 3-0 loss on Wednesday was so bad, its gonna be hard to have a wonderful season again like this being so attacking, so consistent with such a big lead which made it possible to have a real go at CL and not really worry about fixtures around crucial CL games yet it somehow not really happening.
Next year this time we may have a 2-3 points lead only or will be behind 4 points from top who knows and CL games are much trickier if you HAVE TO win 3 days later in the league too unlike if you have comfortable 16 points lead.

The football us fans have been blessed witnessing this season warrants keeping Pep with us for as long as possible.

Zidane clearly.:)
Imagine Zidane getting to the final this season. Lets say he wins it 3 times then leaves Real winning 3 CL in a row.
Then takes over PSG in 3 years he makes 3 CL semis but loses all 3 vs Barca, Real, Bayern. People would say he can only win it with Real with CR etc.
Then he would leave take over lets say United. And first season he would lose already in 1/8 finals vs Leverkusen. Then next year he would lose to Tottenham in 1/4 finals.
Thats where Pep is right know in terms of his CL career. He is getting further away instead of getting closer back to the top. And with his personality this is important that when he feels like he cannot reach something he wont stay. I think one of reasons he left Bayern because he was thinking he cannot win the CL with them.
