Pep Guardiola has set yet another crazy record, reaching 250 Premier League wins in just 349 matches after Manchester City’s hard-fought 1–0 victory over Brentford on Sunday. It wasn’t City’s most sparkling display, but as Softfootball predicted a win for City in the pre-game preview, Erling Haaland’s early goal was enough to get the job done and stretch their unbeaten run to seven games.
This milestone pushes Guardiola ahead of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, who needed 404 games to reach the same mark. That’s 55 matches faster, a number that kinda sums up the dominance City have had under the Spaniard. His win percentage now sits at an unreal 71.6%, miles above Ferguson’s 65.2% and Antonio Conte’s 62.9%.
It’s mad when you think about it. Since walking into the Etihad in 2016, Pep has turned City into a juggernaut, with six Premier League titles, record-breaking points tallies, and football that sometimes looks like it’s from another planet. The 2017/18 campaign was peak dominance, where City won 32 of 38 games and smashed the 100-point barrier, a mark no one’s touched since.
Manchester City acknowledged the milestone in a post uploaded on the teams official website.

City’s 1-0 victory over Brentford means Pep Guardiola has taken just 349 matches to register 250 Premier League wins. Erling Haaland’s early goal was enough for City in west London on Sunday to extend our positive recent form.
It means that Guardiola has achieved yet another Premier League record in an exceptional career. He hit the landmark 55 matches quicker than the next fastest manager to the tally, with Alex Ferguson needing 404 games to get to 250 in the Premier League.
Speaking to the press ahead of the game and with the expectations on his shoulders, Pep Guardiola was confident that the team would deliver, and they matched that win record again the next year and then went on a four-title streak from 2020/21 to 2023/24, averaging nearly 28 wins a season. It’s a level of consistency that’s just unreal in a league this tough.
Now in his tenth season, Pep’s bagged 18 major trophies, and honestly, it’s hard to see anyone stopping him soon. The guy’s built a dynasty, simple as that.
Another milestone, another day for Pep. He keeps raising the bar and somehow, it feels like he’s not even done yet.
