Reaching a milestone 250 Premier League wins is an achievement that requires a special kind of celebration.

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.

With only Ferguson and Wenger preceding him in this achievement, Guardiola is organizing what many would consider the ultimate football celebration.

"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."

Record-Breaking Achievement

Having taken 349 top-flight matches to reach the landmark, Guardiola managed it in record time - 55 games quicker than Ferguson (404) with Wenger (424) next.

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

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

City secured their place in history as only the second team to complete the Treble by capturing the league, European cup and domestic 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 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."

"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."

"Achieving four consecutive Premier League titles represents absolutely phenomenal performance."

Statistical Dominance

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.

Guardiola's remarkable 71.6% win rate surpasses all other managers in league history, exceeding both Ferguson's 65.2% and Conte's 62.9%.

Across his 349 Premier League matches, Guardiola's side have scored 842 goals and conceded 299.

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

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