The Spanish manager recently achieved another milestone in his illustrious career

Since taking over as Manchester City manager in 2016, Pep Guardiola has managed 250 games. His match versus Aston Villa marked a milestone.

With the most victories in 250 games, he has been City's most successful manager and in the Premier League overall. The Spanish manager has the most victories in the history of the Premier League with 184 victories in 250 games.

184 - Pep Guardiola

160 - Jürgen Klopp

158 - José Mourinho

152 - Alex Ferguson

146 - Arsène Wenger

And on September 26, 2022, he eclipsed Joe Mercer to become the second-longest-serving manager in the Club's post-World War II history following the signing of a new contract at City. Les McDowall holds the record for the longest-tenured manager for over 13 years, from June 1950 to May 1963.

In the Premier League and Europe, it hasn't been that simple for the 52-year-old, though. In order for City to win the Champions League, which has eluded them under every manager, the former Barcelona manager was hired.

Despite twice coming close, the Citizens have never been able to win the competition. In the 2020–21 season, Man City reached the Champions League final for the first time in club history but Ultimately fell short 0-1 defeat against Chelsea.

In the following season, they reached the semi-final of the Champions League and were close to reaching two finals in a row but were defeated by Real Madrid in injury time.

Guardiola has maintained his Premier League dominance, winning four crowns in a five-year period despite his Champions League failures.

However, City are going through a difficult time since the club is allegedly in violation of 100 Financial Fair Play laws dating back to the 2008–09 season and could be subject to hefty sanctions that could harm the team's standing.

Despite the obstacles, Pep has made City a formidable team, and the club is currently among the best in Europe. His current primary goal is to lead City to Champions League success this year.
