Pep Guardiola insists that he must win a silverware at Manchester City in order to get an extended stay at Manchester City.
Guardiola is halfway through a three-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola is still Undefeated and with a 15-point lead in the Premier League.
Manchester City play EFL Cup semi-final against Championship club Bristol City on Saturday.
"I don't know what [the players] think about [my contract], but my commitment during the first year, this period and the next one, there is no doubt about that," the 46-year-old told reporters at a news conference ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie with Burnley.
"I will be here one more year and after that we will see. It depends on whether we win and I deserve to extend my contract.
"I'm so, so happy here. But to extend your contract in the big clubs you have to win. If you don't win, you don't deserve to continue. I want to win."

On Fernandinho contract talks: "My last news is 'Dinho is close, so close. Gabriel and Kevin, I don't know," Guardiola explained. "I think they made the first contacts but I don't know if it is close.
"Fernandinho, a lot of time ago we were handling that so I think it's at the end."
On his youth players having a chance to play, he said :"All the young players that we have, the managers [agents] the fathers and mothers all know we would like them to stay with us for a long time," he added.
"No doubt we would like to extend Gabriel and Kevin's contracts. The negotiations are the negotiations and sometimes it is not possible but they know, all of them, that we would like them to continue.
"We want to build up something we started 18 months ago with these guys and want to continue with them."
