Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain insists the future of the club is 'guaranteed' after Pep Guardiola signed a new contract.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager agreed a new two-year deal to take him to 2023 this week and Begiristain believes that ensures their success will continue.
Under Guardiola City have won two Premier League titles - back-to-back with 100 and 98 points respectively - among eight trophies in total in his first four seasons.
Begiristain described their football as 'perfection' and is looking forward to it continuing.
'He took the club to the top level, the maximum you can get. We wanted to do this attractive football and of course to win and he has done both,' he told CityTV.
'We have played unbelievable football and we have won.
'When you do 100 points in the Premier League - such a difficult league - and then in the next one, you have to do 98 to beat an unbelievable team like Liverpool by one... you want to see every weekend and every year the same.
'That kind of perfection you want to feel it every weekend.
'We have shown ambition since the first day and we have to show that and I can see how the players are working in the training sessions and the games.
'The future of this club is absolutely guaranteed with him and the players we have.
'He is always in a constant evolution so he is not the same as at Barcelona, he is not the same as at Bayern and he is not the same as his first season (at City).
'He is always an evolution, he is changing and he shows that work to the players and the players are obeying him.'
Begiristain admits even he was surprised by the success Guardiola has had in the Premier League.
'It is unbelievable to do two season 198 points. I could see that he could do it but I couldn't expect such a big amount of points,' he added.
'I told him once when he was in Germany how difficult the Premier League is and you win with 85, 86, 87 points.
'With those points (100 and 98) even myself I thought it was impossible but he did it.'

Pep biggest task (Challenges)after this renewal - 1. Win UCL , this will happen only if pep doesn't overthink games and tactics. JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE. 2. Find a goalscorer like Aguero to compete with jesus. My choice would be Liam delap and Cole palmer. 3.If messi comes then help him adjust in England and in English football along with pairing messi , kevin and aguero in pep's system which won't be a big task because of perspicacity of pep as a tactician but it is very crucial that messi settles with all other players. 4. Find a player to compete with rodri and potentially replace fernandinho . We need a DMF . I am losing trust in rodri . Recruit Charles doyle . 5. Bring back angelino but sell mendy , Zinchenko first . 6. sell mahrez because ferran is eventually going to take his place. 7. Foden must start every game as long as he is fit. I cannot stress this enough. Starting foden in every crucial game is more important than bringing messi to Etihad .This kid is called Stockport Iniesta for a reason . He will replace david silva. 8. Sell sterling if he doesn't get his act together. We have jaden in academy who is very clinical like ferran. 9. Don't buy a player if city academy has a young world class prodigy . 10 . Last but not the least , make this team better than the city of 17/18 .
I agree with you on most points foden should be the focus pep must trust him more to be a regular and play 34/38 EPL games, Rodri is actually showing glimpses of improvement, we bought Gomes and Palaversa but none of those boys have been given a chance, but Doyle is a prodigy and should be getting a bit more attention too, Mahrez should be playing is last season especially if Messi is to come, but what would that mean for Bernardo too? Do you think he can regain is form? And Sterling should be benched more often or guardiola should have a serious talk with him he canβt be scoring 1 out of 4 clear chances

If guardiola can get through quarter final, it will be the big step for us. We are heading for the ucl. With guardiola and the oilππwe had won lots of trophies than the past decade. This is not the power of money and it is about the manager as well.
