Pep Guardiola has secured one Champions League title during his tenure at Manchester City. The Spanish manager led the club to victory in 2023 when it defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul. This remains the only European Cup in the history of the club, according to Manchester City. Guardiola previously won the competition two times with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.
Despite dominance in the Premier League, City suffered several knockout stage exits under his leadership. These include a final defeat to Chelsea in 2021 and semi-final losses. Per Sky Sports, Guardiola has often faced criticism for tactical decisions in high-pressure European fixtures. The manager recently reached 100 wins in the competition, becoming the fastest coach to reach that milestone.
Manchester City currently remains in contention for the 2025-26 trophy. Guardiola's contract with the Premier League champions is set to expire in June 2025, per The Athletic. Supporters and analysts continue to weigh his domestic achievements against his continental return.
