Guardiola beat off competition from Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa, West Ham’s David Moyes, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers and Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to win his award.

The Spaniard guided City to their fifth Premier League title and his third in four seasons in England.

Guardiola’s team boasted the most goals scored (83) and the least goals conceded (32) across the campaign and produced a remarkable 15-match winning streak mid-season.

Despite a slow start to the season Pep still managed to give his players the momentum to go on and on and left the trophy. He formed a prolific team that was characterized by a solid defence, midfield and the the use of a false nine system.

Pep Guardiola has been named the Premier League Manager of the Season for the third time (2018, 2019, 2021), with only Sir Alex Ferguson (11) now having won it more often than the Manchester City manager. Esteemed.
