The manager who transformed Manchester City from occasional champions into the most dominant force English football has ever witnessed, Pep Guardiola’s place among the immortals of the game is beyond question.

The Catalan arrived at the Etihad Stadium in 2016 already revered as a generational genius and proceeded to spend a decade proving every word of it. In ten extraordinary years on the blue half of Manchester, Guardiola accumulated 20 trophies, transformed how the Premier League could be played and won, and delivered City their long-dreamed-of first Champions League crown in that unforgettable treble season of 2022–23. His ‘Centurions’ side of 2017–18, the first team in English football history to reach 100 points, set a standard that remains untouched. Four consecutive Premier League titles – another achievement without precedent in the history of the English top flight – confirmed that under Guardiola, greatness was not an event but a habit.

Long before he contemplated his farewell, Pep’s name was already spoken in the same breath as the club’s all-time greats, and rightly so. He didn’t just win at Manchester City. He changed what winning looked like. Relive the breathtaking Etihad era of the Catalan mastermind who made Manchester City the envy of the world.
