The record
Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City from Bayern Munich in 2016, and the Premier League's financial case against the club covers seasons in which he managed it. The league's February 2023 statement referring City to an independent commission does not name him. His own record at City is a list of results and contracts, most of it from match reports and club announcements.
By March 2020 he had won three consecutive League Cups, putting him behind only Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough and Jose Mourinho on four each. In February 2021 his side won a 15th straight game in all competitions, the longest run by an English top-flight team, and in May 2022 City won his fourth Premier League title in five seasons. That November he signed a two-year extension to the end of the 2024-25 season.
