Pep Guardiola Makes History by Breaking Sir Alex Ferguson’s Premier League Record
The Spanish manager reached 250 league victories in record time with Manchester City, surpassing the mark set by the legendary Scottish coach.
A New Milestone for Guardiola in England
Pep Guardiola continues to etch his name in the history books of English football. The Manchester City boss secured his 250th Premier League win after Sunday’s victory over Brentford, reaching the milestone in just 349 matches in charge.
The previous record belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson, who achieved 250 wins with Manchester United in 404 games. Guardiola shattered that mark 55 matches earlier, underscoring the immediate and sustained impact he’s had since arriving in English football.
Now in his tenth season with the “Citizens,” the Spanish tactician is looking to reclaim the Premier League crown that he and his team surrendered last season. Since his arrival in England, Guardiola has won six of the last eight league titles, placing him second only to Ferguson among the most successful managers in English football history.
The “250 Wins Club” and an Unmatched Legacy
With this achievement, Guardiola becomes just the fourth manager in Premier League history to reach 250 victories, joining Ferguson, Arsène Wenger (with Arsenal) and David Moyes (with Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland, and West Ham United).
Following the win over Brentford, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach jokingly suggested organizing a special dinner with the other members of this exclusive club. He even mentioned they could record the meeting and make it a public event, according to comments to Sky Sports.
Beyond the anecdote, the standout statistic is his remarkable efficiency: Guardiola holds the highest winning percentage in Premier League history at 71.6%. His dominant style of play and ability to constantly reinvent the team have turned Manchester City into a global powerhouse.
A Decade of “Sky Blue” Dominance
Since arriving in England in 2016, Pep Guardiola has transformed Manchester City into a relentless winning machine. Under his leadership, the club has lifted 18 major trophies, including multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the long-awaited Champions League.
What began as an ambitious project has evolved into an era of unprecedented supremacy. With this new record, Guardiola not only cements his status as one of the most successful managers in Premier League history, but he also continues to widen the gap with his contemporaries in terms of consistency and silverware.
The “250 Wins Club” has a new leader — and it’s clear that Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are far from finished writing their story.
