Phil Foden admits he is relishing working under new Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca - after signing a new and improved deal at the Etihad.
Foden has put his World Cup heartbreak behind by penning a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. The 26-year-old is one of the most decorated players in the club's history, having won a staggering 20 major trophies.
And he is targeting even more under former first team coach Maresca, who has returned to replace the great Pep Guardiola in the blue half of Manchester.
Foden, who was left out of the England squad for the World Cup, said: "Committing my future to City means everything to me. Playing for this Club is all I've ever wanted to do and it’s always an honour to wear the shirt. It's not lost on me that I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a historic period with so many titles won.
"But we're always looking to the future and trying to win more.
"I can't wait to work with Enzo again. He was brilliant during the Treble season – someone all the players respected and loved working with.
"To have him back here is exciting. Personally, I know I’ve improved so much from working with our coaches and world-class squad and as many of the legends who were here when I first broke through move on, I am excited for the next phase of my career at this great club."
City director of football Hugo Viana added: "Everyone at Manchester City is incredibly proud of Phil.
"He is a unique talent, and his creativity is a joy to watch. But none of what he has achieved would be possible without the focus, dedication and humility to work hard in every moment and absorb all of the knowledge available to him through our coaches and players.
"Given Phil joined City at the age of nine, his continued success is one that is celebrated in every corner of our club.
"At 26, his development is still ongoing, and we look forward to seeing the player Phil can become over the coming years."
