Hitting the 250-win mark in the Premier League calls for extraordinary festivities.

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."

Record-Breaking Achievement

The Spanish manager reached this landmark in record-breaking fashion, requiring only 349 appearances compared to Ferguson's 404 and Wenger's 424.

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

The 54-year-old tactician has delivered six Premier League crowns, one Champions League trophy, two FA Cups and four League Cups during his tenure.

They became just the second side to achieve a historic Treble when they won the Premier League, Champions League and FA 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.

Transformative Influence

"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]."

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

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

Numerical Superiority

Under Guardiola, City have surpassed 90 points in four different campaigns out of nine - an extraordinary feat given this benchmark had been achieved just five times before his English tenure.

With an unparalleled 71.6% victory ratio, the former Barcelona and Bayern manager outperforms all historical competitors, including Ferguson at 65.2% and Conte at 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.
