Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has declared Pep Guardiola as the best manager in Premier League history, snubbing long-time favorite Sir Alex Ferguson.
Guardiola has secured six Premier League titles in the last seven years since arriving in England in 2016. Despite a challenging first season, the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona manager has dominated the league, missing out only in the 2019/2020 campaign when Liverpool claimed the title.
Speaking on the latest Stick to Football podcast, Carragher stated, “I’d put Pep Guardiola top of Premier League history. Sir Alex Ferguson, what he did at Aberdeen, maybe puts him above Pep, but in terms of the Premier League, Guardiola has won six in seven titles, and he’s only been here for eight years. Ferguson would have only won his first one after being there for seven years.”
Carragher’s remarks highlight Guardiola’s rapid and consistent success, setting a new benchmark in English football.
