After an illustrious eight-and-a-half seasons with Pep Guardiola at the helm, and two more to come, we look back at the best images from the manager's reign so far…

The Catalan’s new deal will mean he will have spent more than a decade as City manager.

He took charge in 2016 and has since led City in 490 games, winning 353, drawing 70 and losing just 67.  

Over those nearly nine years, Guardiola has guided the Blues to 18 trophies in our most successful era since the Club’s inception in 1894.  

During that time, we’ve also created history on multiple fronts.  

From becoming the first side to break the 100-point barrier in the Premier League to being the first English men’s club to win four successive top-flight titles, what Guardiola has achieved is nothing short of remarkable. 

Under his tutelage, City have also showcased some of the most exciting talents in world football including Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and many more.  

To celebrate Guardiola’s new two-year contract, take a look back on some of the best moments to date with the boss via the gallery below…
