Following his most recent achievement in the English Premier League, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola paid tribute to renowned managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
Guardiola stated that he would like to celebrate his most recent accomplishment with the two former managers of Manchester United and Arsenal, respectively.
On Sunday, his team defeated Brentford 1-0, marking the Spaniard’s 250th Premier League victory in just 349 games.
Erling Haaland scored the only goal as the Norwegian striker continued his superb run of form.
Guardiola has already won the Premier League six times already as Manchester City boss.
Guardiola, who joined the club in the summer of 2016, recorded this achievement quicker than any other manager in the Premier League.
Ferguson took 404 matches to secure 250 wins for Manchester United in the Premier League while Wenger waited for 423 games to do so with Arsenal.
Another manager with 250 wins, David Moyes of Everton, needed 645 games to do so.
Guardiola sent invitations to Ferguson and Wenger after joining them in an elite club.
“We won a lot!” Guardiola said, adding: “Otherwise you cannot take this accolade without winning a lot of games. It’s an honour for me to be alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger so I will invite them to a good dinner.
Maybe not in Manchester, maybe somewhere with more sun. No, we’ll do it in Manchester. It’s an honour, a pleasure to be part of that in Premier League history. “I want to say thank you to the club, the organisation, the players and the staff that I had because we did it quicker, faster, better and really, really pleased. Now, let’s go for 250 more.” Manchester City’s win at Brentford saw them climb to fifth in the table, three points behind leaders, Arsenal
