Guardiola sets record for most League Cup wins as a manager | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola has now won the League Cup more times than any other manager.

The Catalan claimed his fifth success in the competition on Sunday with a 2-0 win over Arsenal at Wembley.

It follows our four consecutive triumphs between 2018 and 2021 and marks the ninth League Cup trophy in our history, with only Liverpool winning it more times.

Guardiola moves ahead of other iconic names in English football, with Brian Clough, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho all winning the League Cup four times each.

In total, he’s won 29 of his 39 games in the tournament, scoring 83 times and conceding just 26 goals.

The Carabao Cup was Pep’s first trophy as City boss, beating Arsenal 3-0 in 2018.

That began a dominance of English football, with Guardiola leading us to 18 major honours since.

We successfully defended the League Cup in each of the following three seasons, beating Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur in the finals.

Now, he’s added to that legacy and become the most successful manager since the competition’s inception in 1960.

Congratulations to Pep on this latest milestone in a spectacular career!
