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

Following Manchester City's narrow 1-0 victory against Brentford, Guardiola now joins an elite group of managers who have reached this milestone with one club.

Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger had previously achieved this distinction - and Guardiola has conceived the perfect celebration with these football legends.

"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.

"Being part of Premier League history brings me great joy, absolutely thrilled. Let's target 250 additional wins."

Record-Breaking Achievement

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.

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.

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.

City secured their place in history as only the second team to complete the Treble by capturing the league, European cup and domestic 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.

Game-Changing Legacy

"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."

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

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

Numerical Superiority

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%.

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

Although contracted with City through 2027, speculation continues regarding Guardiola's long-term plans.

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