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.

"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."

Historic Milestone

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

While David Moyes has also accumulated 250 Premier League victories, he accomplished this across different club tenures.

Guardiola has joined a list of 16 other bosses to reach the tally in the history of the English top flight, including Bill Shankly (Liverpool), Matt Busby (Manchester United) and Brian Clough (Nottingham Forest).

Remarkable Period of Dominance

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.

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

Transformative Influence

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

"Guardiola's legacy extends beyond mere wins to encompass his revolutionary approach, football evolution, and the tiki-taka system."

"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.

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.

However, his transformative effect on English football remains undeniable.
