Pep




*Why Pep edges Fergie in the first 10 years*

Look at it straight up: *20 trophies in 10 years vs 6*. That’s not a small gap.

*1. He won more, and he won bigger*
Pep’s haul at City from 2016-2026:

*6 Premier Leagues,
1 Champions League,
5 League Cups,
3 FA Cups,
3 Community Shields,
1 UEFA Super Cup,
1 Club World Cup*.

That’s 4 titles in a row from 2021-2024 – no English club has ever done that. 100 points, 98 points, 93 points seasons. He didn’t just win, he broke the ceiling of what winning looks like in the PL.

Fergie in his first 10 years at United 1986-1996:
*3 PLs,
1 FA Cup,
1 League Cup,
1 Cup Winners’ Cup*.

Respect to the rebuild, but the output isn’t close.

*2. He did it in a tougher league*

Pep’s City had to beat peak Klopp Liverpool, this Arsenal team, and a Chelsea side spending crazy money just to get to May with the title. Every game in the PL now is a fight. Fergie’s early dominance came before the money flooded in and before every mid-table team had a tactical coach and data team.

*3. He changed the game, not just his club*
Go to any academy or watch any PL game now and you’ll see Pep’s fingerprints. Inverted fullbacks, controlled possession, pressing traps, false nines. Managers across Europe copied him because it worked. Fergie was a master man-manager and could adapt, but he didn’t set the tactical blueprint for the next 20 years.

*4. He delivered in Europe when it mattered*

City’s first ever Champions League in 2023, plus 6 straight semis in 10 years. The UCL now is a minefield – every knockout tie is against another billion-pound squad. Fergie didn’t even get to a UCL final in his first 10 years.

*5. He kept it going without falling off*
Pep rebuilt that City squad 3 times. KDB aging, Aguero leaving, Cancelo drama, still they win. The system outlives the players. Fergie’s first 10 years was about building the culture. Once it was built, the trophies came in waves. Pep had the waves immediately.

---

Fergie built United from the ground up and that deserves respect. But if we’re talking pure results, dominance, and impact on the game in the first 10 years, *Pep’s numbers and influence are on another level*.

20 trophies. 4 in a row. Changed how football is played. That’s the argument.

Hallelujah.

City is about to become the new Chelsea as from next season

Well,Pep came,he saw and he conquered not only EPL,but the whole of England . Dude turned the almighty EPL into a farmer's league

Arteta will turn epl to farmers league

He is the greatest coach ever to walk the planet.
Not even Ferguson comes close

He's Him .
Pepper dem Guardiola
The guy do Arsenal and Liverpool wetin no good

Man city should sit down and think deeply on this decision they are about to make.
Allowing him to go and replace him with the Enzo Mascara might be dangerous decision.

He must be eyeing the Madrid job

He boasted that City will not fall like United did

Cool. He's been acting like he lost interest for about 2 years now.

U have done really well, well done

Ateta and Arsenal will shout for joy

Congratulations to him. He did well with Man City.

Princejuddy:
Arteta will turn epl to farmers league

Lol what do you mean

Long overdue, time to step aside after farming the league for yrs. A good news for Arsenal

I won't be surprised actually

He tried but he was beaten blue and black several times in the past two seasons. His long losing streak never happened to Sir Alex Ferguson.

He stayed this season because of that 115 misappropriation charge actually.

Best coach in the world 🌎
Nobody come close.

If you want to win trophies his the man for the job, just keep your money .

He even tried to stay this long...

Staying two more years cost him his marriage

He has done his bit and he's well respected for doing that.

Farewell, great one.


Make Arsenal light one more goal na make everywhere stew.

I’ll believe it when City or Pep actually confirms it. Right now it’s just rumor and speculation

Omo this guy was a GOAT. Even If he doesnt win the EPL this season, he will be leaving on the highest note.

Time don reach make Man City feel am too.. wait for it

You don't know football boy

Time for haaland to japa
No wonder some of the old takers are running away

Is Pep and City aware of this?

Why am I so excited about this news.

Two seasons from now, City will be completing in the Conference League

I'm sorry grandpa.
I don't argue with your kind

... beaten black and blue as How? Within this past two seasons you mentioned, did he fail to lift any trophy?

Nice one... Leaving while the ovation is resounding with 2 trophies won.

Most successful Manager in the EPL history (Sorry Fergie).


Maresca has such ridiculously large shoes to fill. I hope he has what it takes.
