Barcelona have announced that Pep Guardiola will stay on as manager until the end of next season. Guardiola, along with club chairman Joan Laporta and sporting director Txiki Begiristain, met the media at Nou Camp and the decision was soon announced. Guardiola's initial contract with the Catalans was due to run out by the end of the current season. The 39-year-old was appointed Barca manager in 2008, guiding the club to a host of trophies, including a sensational quadruple last year.
