🏆 Pep Guardiola crowned Premier League Manager of the Season | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola has been crowned the Premier League’s Manager of the Season for a fifth time.

The Catalan guided Manchester City to a fourth straight title, beating nearest challengers to the punch by finishing top with 91 points.

He saw off competition from Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.

“It’s an honour to have been chosen by the Premier League as the Manager of the Season,” said Guardiola.

“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 last Sunday was a day I will always remember.”

Guardiola is the second-most successful recipient of the award with only Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson (11) winning more.
