Pep Guardiola Shatters Sir Alex Ferguson's Premier League Record in Stunning Achievement
Pep Guardiola achieved his 250th Premier League victory while managing Manchester City on Sunday, setting a new record as the quickest manager to reach this landmark (349 matches).
The iconic Sir Alex Ferguson previously held this record, having secured 250 league victories in 404 matches with Manchester United. Guardiola surpassed that benchmark with 55 fewer games required.
In his tenth season in England, Guardiola seeks to regain the Premier League crown that he and Man City surrendered last season. The Spanish tactician guided Man City to six Premier League titles in the past eight campaigns, ranking second only to Ferguson among managers with the most league titles in England.
Pep Guardiola Hints at 250-Win Club Celebration

Guardiola becomes just the fourth manager in Premier League history to enter the 250-win club. Besides Ferguson, Arsène Wegner and David Moyes complete this elite group.
After the victory over Brentford, Guardiola suggested the idea of a special dinner and discussion with the other managers, potentially filmed for public viewing, he told Sky Sports (via NBC Sports).
No Premier League manager boasts a superior winning rate than Guardiola's 71.6 percent. Following his success in Spain and Germany, Guardiola arrived in England to transform Man City into a championship dynasty.
During his ten-year tenure with the blue half of Manchester, Guardiola has secured 18 major honors, establishing an era of unparalleled success.
