Manchester City's success cannot be separated from the outpouring of money from Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group which acquired The Citizen. Pep Guardiola, who has experience taking care of young players, is able to choose young talent to complete the Man City squad to play with senior players. Manchester City has a complete squad with even abilities between the first team and reserve players.

Guardiola has just led Man City to win the Premier League title for the 2023/2024 season. In the final standings, they are two points ahead of Arsenal. Achieving this title confirms Man City's dominance in the Premier League, during the Pep Guardiola era. Because from eight seasons competing in the Premier League, Guardiola was able to win six titles. The issue of Pep's departure is very interesting for us to follow. As we know, Pep Guardiola only has one season remaining on his contract.

Before Manchester City was taken over by Sheikh Mansour in 2008 of course Manchester City was a mediocrity team in the English League, but after Sheikh Mansour took over of course Manchester City has transformed into a fairly strong team and continues to be a contender for the championship in the English League and Champions League, in the early era of Manchester City ownership, Sheikh Mansour immediately poured a large enough fund of around 500 million pounds to make improvements to their squad and until now of course there are countless amounts of money he has spent to make Manchester City as great as it is today, that's why I think the achievements of a football club are not far from the amount of money the owners have, there are some teams that are able to compete as title contenders without a lot of money, but I think those teams don't last more than two seasons like Leicester City did.

In addition to money, of course, the coach factor is an important factor that makes Manchester City as great as it is today, coaching methods, motivation and also the tactics and strategies that Guardiola has applied in Manchester City so far are certainly able to lift Manchester City performance to continue to compete in the race for the title, I think in today modern era, Guardiola is the most successful coach in the world and he continues to be able to make the team he coaches can win the championship the prestigious, of course the trophy wins in Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City have been clear evidence of his greatness so far.

During the acquisition of Man City by Syech Mansour, significant changes occurred in the Man City camp, they were able to buy the star players they wanted. Of course they can also bring in the best coaches. In this case, we try to see what Pep Guardiola has achieved. The Cityzens celebrated their tenth league title, eighth in the Premier League era, and sixth under Pep Guardiola. And this time it was very special, because they became the first team in the history of English football to win four titles in a row. Since winning a third consecutive title last year, Guardiola has been determined to do something no team has ever achieved before. And as he often does, the Spanish coach managed to do it. Guardiola has made history by winning his fourth trophy in a row, taking his total to six titles.

Pep Guardiola faced many questions about his suitability for English football before he joined City and there was much dissatisfaction among supporters when he failed to win a single trophy in his debut season. But Guardiola was able to overcome the team's biggest weakness the following season, namely defense, they recruited three defenders and a goalkeeper, plus Bernardo Silva. And it didn't take long for his team to succeed as they won 19 of their opening 20 games.
