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

That is what Pep Guardiola is planning after Manchester City's 1-0 win over Brentford secured him access to an exclusive club of managers who have accomplished the feat with a single club.

Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger had previously achieved this distinction - and Guardiola has conceived the perfect celebration with these football legends.

"Being in the company of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger is an honor, I'm taking them out for a magnificent dinner," announced the City boss in his tenth year with the club.

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

Unprecedented Feat

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.

David Moyes joins the 250-win club too, though his achievements span multiple managerial positions.

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.

Unprecedented Winning Streak

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.

City's 2017-18 season broke new ground as they became the inaugural team to achieve 100 points, securing 32 victories, while also being the exclusive club to win four straight league titles.

Revolutionary Impact

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

"When we talk about Guardiola it's not just the wins, it's how they've won, how he's changed football, the tiki-taka [style of play]."

"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."

Record-Breaking Numbers

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%.

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

Although contracted with City through 2027, speculation continues regarding Guardiola's long-term plans.

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