Pep Guardiola Declares Sir Alex Ferguson the Greatest Premier League Manager of All
🚨🎙️ Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has paid the ultimate compliment to legendary Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, declaring him the greatest manager in Premier League history — and beyond.
Speaking to reporters, Guardiola was asked who he believes is the best manager to ever grace the English top flight. His response was immediate and emphatic:
“In this country and all around the world, Sir Alex Ferguson is the BEST.”
The statement reflects the enormous respect Guardiola has for Ferguson, whose 26-year reign at Manchester United redefined the standards of success in English football. Ferguson guided United to an astonishing 13 Premier League titles, 2 Champions League crowns, and 38 trophies overall, building a dynasty that turned Old Trafford into the home of footballing excellence.
Guardiola himself is often mentioned in the same breath as Ferguson when discussions arise about managerial greatness. Since arriving at Manchester City in 2016, the Spaniard has revolutionized English football with his tactical innovations, securing multiple league titles, domestic cups, and the club’s long-awaited first Champions League triumph.
Despite his own glittering CV, Guardiola insists Ferguson remains the benchmark. The respect between the two men has been mutual for years, with Ferguson famously welcoming Guardiola to Manchester when he first took over at City, and later praising his style of football.
Fans across social media have reacted to Guardiola’s comments, with many United supporters applauding the recognition from their fiercest rival, while others debated whether Guardiola himself could surpass Ferguson’s legacy if he continues his dominance in the Premier League.
Regardless of the comparisons, Guardiola’s words add further weight to Ferguson’s standing as not just the best in England, but one of the greatest in world football.
For United fans, it’s another reminder of the lasting impact Ferguson left at Old Trafford. For City fans, it shows the humility and respect of their own iconic manager, who continues to carve his place in history
