Pep Guardiola has been crowned the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Year for the fifth time after leading Manchester City to a fourth successive title.
The Spanish coach has retained the award he won last season and has now won it twice more than Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, with only Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of him (11). Guardiola, who also won the award after his first three title wins with City, said: “It’s an honour to have been chosen by the Premier League as the Manager of the Season.
“This award reflects the hard work and excellence of the people at the Club in all departments. I am so proud to be manager of this group of players and to work alongside the brilliant coaches and support staff every day.
“Winning four titles in a row is one of the proudest achievements of my career. This is the toughest league in the world and our competitors have played some incredible football.
“When I arrived in England, I would never have thought that together we could win six Premier Leagues in seven years. We have done something unbelievable and to celebrate that with our fans on Sunday was a day I will never forget.”
