Captain Vincent Kompany has signed a new six-year deal with Manchester City.
The contract is the longest the Premier League champions have ever handed out and comes after the Belgium international led them to their first title in 44 years last season.
Kompany has been a defensive lynchpin since his move from Hamburg in 2008 and he hopes last season's successes can be repeated.
"For me if you are good somewhere then there is no reason to look elsewhere," he told the club's website.
"City as a project is not just a project of the owners or the people employed by the club; it is also my project.
"I have been here since the beginning and I have seen everything at the club change inside and out. I have the feeling that I have contributed to it too.
"It is good to know that I can be at City for another six years. It is a compliment that the club feels so highly of me.
"Hopefully in the future I will have a bigger impact than I already have. The fans have given me an incredible reception which is one of the main reasons that I signed this new deal.
"My family is happy and there are so many more trophies to win at this club that is why it makes it so special.
"I like the kind of characters that we have in our team; I like the challenges we have ahead of us. Now is the time to build the culture of winning we are in the right time; we are in the right moment."
