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

That is what Pep Guardiola is planning after Manchester City's 1-0 win over Brentford secured him access to an exclusive club of managers who have accomplished the feat with a single club.

Only Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) and Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) have done so previously - and Guardiola is already planning a football fan's dream guest list to toast the landmark.

"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.

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

Unprecedented Feat

Having taken 349 top-flight matches to reach the landmark, Guardiola managed it in record time - 55 games quicker than Ferguson (404) with Wenger (424) next.

David Moyes joins the 250-win club too, though his achievements span multiple managerial positions.

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.

Unprecedented Winning Streak

The 54-year-old tactician has delivered six Premier League crowns, one Champions League trophy, two FA Cups and four League Cups during his tenure.

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

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.

Revolutionary Impact

"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."

"Many doubted his methods initially and his debut season fell short of expectations - but from that point forward, he has elevated the sport to unprecedented levels."

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

Statistical Dominance

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.

Yet there can be no doubt about the successful impact he has had on English football.
