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

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

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.

"Being part of Premier League history brings me great joy, absolutely thrilled. Let's target 250 additional wins."

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.

In the Premier League era, David Moyes also has 250 wins under his belt, but has achieved them across spells with multiple clubs.

The City manager now stands among 16 other coaching legends in English football history who have reached this figure, including iconic names like Shankly, Busby, and Clough.

Dominant Era of Success

Under his leadership since 2016, Guardiola has guided City to six league titles, one European Cup, two domestic cups and four league cups.

The 2023 season saw City become just the second club ever to achieve the prestigious Treble of league, European and domestic cup success.

In 2017-18 City became the first team to accumulate 100 points in one season - winning 32 of 38 games - while they are also the only team to have won four Premier League titles in a row.

Game-Changing Legacy

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

"Discussing Guardiola involves more than victories - it's about his winning methodology, his transformation of football, the tiki-taka philosophy."

"Initial skepticism surrounded his arrival and his first campaign proved underwhelming - yet subsequently, he has revolutionized the game completely."

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

Statistical Dominance

City have accumulated more than 90 points in the Premier League in four of Guardiola's nine full seasons - a remarkable achievement considering that marker had only ever been reached on five occasions prior to his arrival in England.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss' win percentage of 71.6% is better than anyone else in the division's history, outshining Ferguson and Antonio Conte with 65.2% and 62.9% respectively.

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

Despite committing to City until 2027 through a new contract, questions persist about Guardiola's extended future.

Yet there can be no doubt about the successful impact he has had on English football.
