Both were successful and won trophies at the club but none has dominated English football like Pep Guardiola has dominated with his style of football, number of trophies won and records he has set.

Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City in 2023 at the end of his contract, he has already confirmed. He said this at an event organised for Brazilian company XP Investimentos.
