Josep Guardiola Biography

Josep Pep Guardiola Sala is the current manager of Premier League team Manchester City. He is a former player and professional football manager from Spain. He is widely regarded as one of the best managers of all time, having won the most straight league games in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. Josep Pep Guardiola was a renowned defensive midfielder who played for FC Barcelona, a professional soccer team located in Barcelona, Spain, for the bulk of his career, but also for Brescia, Roma, Al-Ahli, and Dorados de Sinaloa. From 1991 to 1994, he was a member of Johan Cruyff's dream team, which won the club's first European Cup and four consecutive Spanish league titles. Guardiola became a coach at Barcelona in 2008 after retiring as a player. He guided the team to the triple of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League in his debut season, becoming the youngest manager to ever win the competition. Guardiola received the Catalan Parliament's Gold Medal and was crowned FIFA World Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading the team to another La Liga and Champions League double. Guardiola joined Bayern Munich as a coach in 2013. He won the Bundesliga three times, as well as the DFB-Pokal, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He left Bayern Munich for Manchester City in 2016, and in his second season in charge, he led them to the Premier League title and set a Premier League record for most consecutive wins, with 18 triumphs between August and December 2017. The next season, he won the Premier League and EFL Cup for the second year in a row, as well as the FA Cup, making him the first manager in English men's football to achieve the domestic triple. His squad dominated again the next season, winning it for the second time in 2020/21, along with the FA Cup, three more EFL Cups, and a UEFA Champions League final appearance. The Citizens dominated the 2017/18 Premier League season, with Guardiola winning his first league title in English football with a 106-goal, 32-win record, and 100-point total. His side won the championship again the following season, as well as the FA Cup, three more EFL Cups, and a place in the UCL final in 2020/21.
