Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola has been named the 2020/21 Barclays Premier League Manager of the Season. The City manager has won the honor after overseeing another magnificent campaign for the Club.
Guardiola, who was also named the League Manager’s Association Manager of the Year last month, led City to a third Premier League title in four years. And he wins the award for a third time in his managerial career, having also claimed it in his two previous title-winning campaigns, 2017/18 and 2018/19.
The Spaniard made history this season as his Man City side became the first team in history to win the title after being as low as eighth on Christmas Day, masterminding a 15-match winning run to take the PL Trophy back off Liverpool.
He matches the three Manager of the Season awards earned by Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, with only Sir Alex Ferguson having won it on more occasions, with 11. Those three men are also the only managers in PL history who can match Guardiola’s three title wins.
With City also securing a fourth successive Carabao Cup title and reaching a first-ever Champions League final, it was further testament to the incredible work overseen by the boss with the Club having now won 10 of the 15 major domestic trophies available since the 2017/18 campaign.
The 50-year-old beat fellow nominees Marcelo Bielsa, David Moyes, Brendan Rodgers and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the season award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of football experts to decide the winner.
