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.

With only Ferguson and Wenger preceding him in this achievement, Guardiola is organizing what many would consider the ultimate football celebration.

"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.

"It's a pleasure to be part of that in Premier League history, really pleased. Now let's go for 250 more."

Historic Milestone

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.

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

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.

Dominant Era of Success

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.

The 2023 season saw City become just the second club ever to achieve the prestigious Treble of league, European and domestic cup success.

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's one of the greatest ever to do it," said former Manchester City defender 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]."

"Many doubted his methods initially and his debut season fell short of expectations - but from that point forward, he has elevated the sport to unprecedented levels."

"Winning the Premier League four times successively is nothing short of spectacular achievement."

Statistical Dominance

City have accumulated more than 90 points in the Premier League in four of Guardiola's nine full seasons - a remarkable achievement considering that marker had only ever been reached on five occasions prior to his arrival in England.

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%.

Throughout his 349 Premier League appearances, Guardiola's teams have netted 842 times while allowing only 299 goals.

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

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