On the same day that Pellegrini announced his planned departure, City announced that Pep Guardiola had agreed to succeed him as manager, with his tenure beginning on 1 July 2016. Despite a trophy-less first season in 2016–17, Guardiola would lead City to unprecedented success in the 2017–18 &amp; 2018–19 seasons. In 2017–18, City won the Premier League with 100 points, setting countless records along the way whilst also winning the 2017–18 EFL Cup. The following season, the club became the first in the history of English football to complete the Domestic Treble by winning the Premier League, the FA Cup &amp; the League Cup. Having won the 2018 FA Community Shield at the start of the season, City became the first team to win all four major English domestic honours in one season and to hold all four simultaneously. Guardiola has therefore become City's most successful manager in the club's history: winning 10 major English league and cup titles to date; and maintaining a win % in excess of 70%, at least 10% higher than any proceeding manager. On the European stage, Guardiola became the first City manager ever to reach the European Cup final in 2021, where they were defeated by Chelsea. He has so far taken City to the final, three quarter-finals and was once knocked out in the round of 16.
