Despite the astounding achievement, Guardiola’s sights are set on a higher goal – he needs 13 more trophies to match the record of Sir Alex Ferguson, who clinched 49 victories during his remarkable managerial tenure.

What’s truly remarkable about Guardiola’s achievement is the speed at which he’s accumulated these honors.

While it took Ferguson 39 years to amass his incredible tally, Guardiola has done so in just 14 active years. His average of 2.5 titles per season is a testament to his tactical brilliance and dedication.

Guardiola also etched his name in history by becoming the first coach ever to claim the European Super Cup with three different clubs.
