Manchester City headcoach Pep Guardiola is set to land yet another historic milestone in the English Premier League. The 48-year-old Spanish manager who became the first manager to win the domestic treble last season could also earn the status as the manager to win a century of Premier League matches in record time.
Guardiola has been in charge of 114 league games since completing his switch to Etihad Stadium four years ago, managing 87 wins in all. As a result, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich head coach now requires just 13 more wins to usurp Jose's Mourinho's long-standing record of being the fast manager to reach 100 wins.
The Portuguese manager, whose debut season with the Blues was in the 2004-2005 campaign, achieved the feat after 142 matches. Prior to Pep Guardiola's arriva in England, the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson trailed 'The Special One' in second position after reaching the 100 wins benchmark 162. Arsene Wenger followed his biggest nemesis after arriving in the Premier League by achieve the feat in 179 matches.
Should Pep Guardiola continue on the winning path he is on, he will only need another 17 games to reach a century of victories, taking his overall tally 131. Another bit of history could also be made as a Premier League title win will make Guardiola the first manager after Sir Alex Ferguson to win the trophy three times` in succession.
