Hitting the 250-win mark in the Premier League calls for extraordinary festivities.

Manchester City's triumph over Brentford propelled Guardiola into a select circle of coaches achieving this record with a single team.

Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger had previously achieved this distinction - and Guardiola has conceived the perfect celebration with these football legends.

"Being in the company of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger is an honor, I'm taking them out for a magnificent dinner," announced the City boss in his tenth year with the club.

"It's a pleasure to be part of that in Premier League history, really pleased. Now let's go for 250 more."

Historic Milestone

Guardiola achieved this milestone in just 349 Premier League games, setting a new record by completing it 55 matches faster than Ferguson and 75 quicker than Wenger.

David Moyes joins the 250-win club too, though his achievements span multiple managerial positions.

Guardiola enters the prestigious company of 16 other managerial greats in English top-flight history, featuring football icons such as Shankly, Busby, and Clough.

Unprecedented Winning Streak

The 54-year-old tactician has delivered six Premier League crowns, one Champions League trophy, two FA Cups and four League Cups during his tenure.

They became just the second side to achieve a historic Treble when they won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in 2023.

The 2017-18 campaign saw City make history as the first club to reach 100 points in a single season, winning 32 matches, and they remain the sole team to capture four consecutive Premier League championships.

Revolutionary Impact

"He's one of the greatest ever to do it," said former Manchester City defender Micah Richards.

"Guardiola's legacy extends beyond mere wins to encompass his revolutionary approach, football evolution, and the tiki-taka system."

"A lot of people said it wouldn't work when he first came and that first season was a little bit of a disappointment by his standards - but ever since then they've just taken the game to new heights."

"For a team to win the Premier League four years in a run is just sensational stuff."

Numerical Superiority

Under Guardiola, City have surpassed 90 points in four different campaigns out of nine - an extraordinary feat given this benchmark had been achieved just five times before his English tenure.

With an unparalleled 71.6% victory ratio, the former Barcelona and Bayern manager outperforms all historical competitors, including Ferguson at 65.2% and Conte at 62.9%.

In 349 top-flight matches, Guardiola's squads have produced 842 goals against 299 conceded.

While he signed a deal to stay at City until 2027, Guardiola's long-term future remains uncertain.

However, his transformative effect on English football remains undeniable.
