On Wednesday, it was confirmed that the Spaniard has committed to a new deal that will run until 2025, with his previous contract at the Etihad Stadium having been set to expire in 2023.
Guardiola, who has claimed four Premier League titles since his arrival in England, revealed that the support he has received from those in the City boardroom inspired him to continue his journey with the Citizens.
"In terms of sporting ways, it was one second, the decision. I cannot be in a better place because in these seven years we were in bad, bad moments and the organisation, starting with Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the CEO Ferran Soriano, of course Txiki [Begiristain] and Omar [Berrada], the people close to me – how they support me in these bad moments, that is what really counts," he said, according to Manchester Evening News.
"You can win once in a period at a club. When you win a lot, it is impossible to do it without the support of your hierarchy.
"From day one I felt something special being here. I know the conversations I have with our chairman Khaldoon and the people every day. All you do is your best. I have done that since day one and I will do it until the end.
"I have everything I need to do my job best as possible. I have the support. We discuss a lot what we can do better – we have to do better. I love my job and I have everything to do it. I cannot be in a better place now.
"The moment I don't feel that – for family reasons, or I have achieved everything I want to achieve, or I don't feel comfortable with the team, or it's not a pleasure to fight for another Premier League – when these feelings disappear, I will step aside."
