After 10 years leading Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has officially closed his journey at Etihad, ending one of the most successful coaching dynasties in English football history.
The Spanish captain left Man City as the most successful strategist in club history, after completely changing the team's position with a series of major and minor titles over a decade.
Although he could not close the journey with the Premier League title in the 2025-2026 season, Guardiola still left with a domestic double including the FA Cup and League Cup - the second time he has done this with Man City after the 2018-2019 season.
However, it is the numbers that most clearly reflect Guardiola's stature at Man City.
20 - Number of titles with Man City
In 10 seasons at Etihad, Guardiola helped Man City win a total of 20 titles.
The Premier League is his most successful arena with 6 championships. In addition, Guardiola also won 5 League Cups - the most in the history of the league, surpassing Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Brian Clough (all 4 times).
Notably, The Citizens won the League Cup 4 consecutive seasons from 2017 to 2021 - an unprecedented record in English football history.
In the FA Cup, Guardiola won 3 titles. Only 4 coaches in English football history have achieved better results than him in this tournament. In the 2018-2019 season, Man City became the first men's team in England to win a domestic treble including the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.
In the 2022-2023 season, Guardiola continues to help the team complete a historic treble with the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
6 - Premier League title
Six Premier League titles help Guardiola become the second most successful coach in the league history. Only Sir Alex Ferguson with 13 championships has better records than Guardiola in the highest league in England.
Four of those six titles came consecutively from the 2020-2021 to 2023-2024 seasons - a miracle that has never appeared in the history of English football. The last two seasons without being able to win the championship also marked the first time in his coaching career, Guardiola went through two consecutive campaigns without winning the national championship.
593 - Number of matches in charge of Man City
The 1-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the final round of the 2025-2026 Premier League is Guardiola's 593th match as Man City coach. This number helped him surpass Les McDowall's record of 592 matches to become the coach with the most matches in club history.
In those 593 matches, Guardiola won 416 matches, reaching a rate of 70.2% - the highest in Man City history.
He faced 159 different coaches and defeated 142 of them.
2.28 - Average points per match in the Premier League
Guardiola left England with the highest average score per match in Premier League history for coaches who have led more than 20 matches: 2.28 points/match.
Although the number of matches is much less than many other legends, Guardiola is still fourth in the list of coaches with the most wins in Premier League history with 269 wins, only after Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and David Moyes.
Among the 10 strategists with the most wins in the history of the tournament, Guardiola is also the one with the highest win rate: 71%.
Since he came to Man City in 2016, Guardiola's team has won a total of 865 points in the Premier League - 64 points more than the team behind them.
