Manchester City's Guardiola wins fourth Premier League Manager of the Season award

Manchester City boss Josep Guardiola has been named Premier League Manager of the Season after winning a third consecutive title with the Cityzens. 

The Spanish manager led Manchester City to a superb comeback, upstaging Arsenal, who had been top for most of the season, to win the fifth Premier League title of his seven-year reign. 

Guardiola’s men finished with 89 points after a superb 11-game winning run towards the end of the season that ultimately saw them finish top of the league for the third time in a row. 

The ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach joins Manchester City forward Erling Haaland to claim an end-of-season award, underscoring how successful the Cityzens were in the Premier League campaign. 

Guardiola won the seasonal award, despite not winning the Manager of the Month award throughout the season, even during Manchester City’s impressive winning run. In fact, the Cityzens' boss has not won the monthly award since December 2021. 

The 2022/23 Manager of the Season award is Guardiola’s fourth award, and his first since the 2020/21 season when he reclaimed the league title from Liverpool. 

Guardiola beat Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, Aston Villa Unai Emery, Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe and Fulham’s Marco Silva who were also shortlisted for the honour.
