Achieving 250 Premier League victories is a landmark that deserves unique recognition.

Following Manchester City's narrow 1-0 victory against Brentford, Guardiola now joins an elite group of managers who have reached this milestone with one club.

Only Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) and Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) have done so previously - and Guardiola is already planning a football fan's dream guest list to toast the landmark.

"It's an honour to be alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, I will invite them to a good dinner," said the Spaniard, who is in his 10th campaign with City.

"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.

While David Moyes has also accumulated 250 Premier League victories, he accomplished this across different club tenures.

Guardiola has joined a list of 16 other bosses to reach the tally in the history of the English top flight, including Bill Shankly (Liverpool), Matt Busby (Manchester United) and Brian Clough (Nottingham Forest).

Dominant Era of Success

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.

City's 2017-18 season broke new ground as they became the inaugural team to achieve 100 points, securing 32 victories, while also being the exclusive club to win four straight league titles.

Game-Changing Legacy

"He stands as one of the finest managers in football history," stated ex-City player 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."

"Winning the Premier League four times successively is nothing short of spectacular achievement."

Numerical Superiority

The club has exceeded 90 points in four separate seasons during Guardiola's reign - an impressive accomplishment considering this threshold had only been crossed five times in total before his appointment.

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.

Although contracted with City through 2027, speculation continues regarding Guardiola's long-term plans.

Nevertheless, his profound influence on the English game is unquestionable.
