Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has confirmed that head coach Pep Guardiola is set to sign a new long-term contract at the Camp Nou.

The 39-year-old former Spain and Barca midfielder has enjoyed amazing success in his first two seasons at the helm and is now prepared to commit to a new deal, having previously wanted to pen only a one-year contract.

Bartomeu told the Spanish media: "The coach could soon sign a new deal.

"We had wanted a longer agreement with Pep Guardiola, but it was only decided for one year.

"Now the coach has opened the door for a longer agreement. This is not a problem because the club is very satisfied with his work."
