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.

"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.

"I'm delighted to be included in Premier League history, truly satisfied. Now we aim for another 250 victories."

Record-Breaking Achievement

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 enters the prestigious company of 16 other managerial greats in English top-flight history, featuring football icons such as Shankly, Busby, and Clough.

Unprecedented Winning Streak

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.

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

In 2017-18 City became the first team to accumulate 100 points in one season - winning 32 of 38 games - while they are also the only team to have won four Premier League titles in a row.

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]."

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

"Achieving four consecutive Premier League titles represents absolutely phenomenal performance."

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.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss' win percentage of 71.6% is better than anyone else in the division's history, outshining Ferguson and Antonio Conte with 65.2% and 62.9% respectively.

In 349 top-flight matches, Guardiola's squads have produced 842 goals against 299 conceded.

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

However, his transformative effect on English football remains undeniable.
