He is the man who has been successful wherever he goes as shown with his stints with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He has taken football to a new level and has created staggering records in different leagues.
He had a very difficult first season in England when he went trophyless for the first time in his managerial career. He recruited young and vibrant talents and has helped them raise their games to new levels. Since then, the team has never looked back.
The Cityzens are well back on track after scoring a huge victory in their mouthwatering showdown with Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. They have smartly built on that victory over the last few weeks and are now top of the table. With an X-Factor in the form of their manager Guardiola, he could ultimately be the key to Manchester city winning back-to-back titles for the first time in 10 years.
