How Pep Guardiola’s PL record compares with Sir Alex Ferguson’s

Pep Guardiola arrived in the Premier League back in 2016 with a reputation as the greatest manager in the world, and it's safe to say he's lived to his billing.

No side in the history of English football has accumulated points at the rate of Guardiola's City, who look destined to win a fourth league title in six years of the Catalan coach's rule.

Another in 2021-22 would see the 51-year-old move ahead of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho in terms of Premier League trophies, and move him behind only Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson – way out in front on 13.

But how does Guardiola's managerial record compare to Ferguson's? We've taken a look at their overall stats in the Premier League to see how they stack up against one another. Note: Ferguson's United record only is only including stats from the start of the 1992-93 season.
