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

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.

"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.

"I'm delighted to be included in Premier League history, truly satisfied. Now we aim for another 250 victories."

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.

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

Unprecedented Winning Streak

Since joining City in 2016, the 54-year-old has steered them to six Premier League triumphs, one Champions League, two FA 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.

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 ranks among the all-time great managers," commented former City defender 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."

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

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.

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%.

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

While he signed a deal to stay at City until 2027, Guardiola's long-term future remains uncertain.

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