His first season at Man City was his first trophyless season and he finished 3rd in the league thus showing he did not inherit a winning team.
The following season, with the help of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva, a backline lead by Kompany and a front 3 of Sane, Aguero, and Sterling, Manchester City won the league by an astonishing 100 points.

- First team in history to reach 100 points in a Premier League season.
- Most goals scored - 106
- Most wins - 32
- The biggest margin between 2nd place - 19 points

Pep Guardiola has dominated English football. However, in Europe so far he has been unable to pass the quarter-final. However, with Pep having signed a new contract until 2023, he still has a chance to win a champions league with Manchester City being favourites to win it.
People argue that Pep is a chequebook manager and is only successful as he is backed by the board. However, it has been seen recently that even though a manager is backed by the board, it does not guarantee success.
Pep Guardiola also won the GSA Coach of the Century.
