  /  autty

Pep Guardiola boasts the best win percentage of any manager in Premier League history.

The City boss clocked up win No 184 at the weekend, with Manchester City running out 3-1 winners against Aston Villa.

Guardiola, who has now managed 250 games in the Premier League, is top of the win percentage pile. He is 8.4 per cent better off than legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Of those in the top 10 no manager has lost fewer games than Guardiola's 34, with current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, ranked third with a win percentage of 62.6 per cent, losing 41 in total, with seven of those coming this season.

Guardiola will go down as one of the greatest managers ever having claimed 21 trophies across spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich before taking over at Man City.

Guardiola has lived up to the billing in England and boasts being a four-time Premier League champion.

He has also won four League Cups, an FA Cup and two Community Shields.

Granted, from the top 10, Guardiola has a much smaller sample size at play compared to Ferguson, who took charge of 810 top flight matches at Old Trafford.

From those the Scot won 528, drawing a further 168 and losing 114. In total, Ferguson lost just 14.1 per cent of his Premier League games at United, en route to winning 13 Premier League titles.

Klopp rounds out the top three, with former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho in fourth.

Iconic former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is fifth with a 57.5 per cent win ratio.

Much like Ferguson, Wenger has a huge sample size of games having led the Gunners for 828 matches. Of those he won 476 (57.5%), drawing 199 and losing 153.

Three former Liverpool managers join Klopp in the top 10 with Rafael Benitez ranked seventh overall, Gerard Houllier ranked eighth and Brendan Rodgers, now at Leicester City, ranked ninth.

Out-of-work Mauricio Pochettino ranks sixth overall having thrived during spells at Southampton, and more recently at Tottenham.

The Argentine manager won 132 of his 256 games in charge, giving him a win percentage of 51.6 per cent.

Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan rounds out the top 10, albeit some way short of Guardiola's win record, with 43.3 per cent.
