Pep Guardiola was hired as Manchester City manager in 2016. The former defensive midfielder who spent the majority of his playing career with Barcelona led Man City to its sixth Premier League championship in seven seasons in May 2024. With the win, City became the first men’s team in the history of English football to claim four top-flight titles in a row.
