Pep Guardiola has won the Premier League Manager of the Season award after another league title with Manchester City.

Guardiola’s side recovered from losing out to Liverpool in 2019-20 and led the league for much of the season, eventually winning the title when Manchester United lost to Leicester City last month, although they triumphed having been 8^th on Christmas Day.

Despite a 12-point gap to second-place United at the end of the campaign, the 50-year-old said this title was “the hardest one”, having previously won the Premier League in 2017-18 and 2018-19.

Guardiola beat Marcelo Bielsa, who guided Leeds United to a sensational season, David Moyes of West Ham United, Brendan Rodgers of Leicester City and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer of Manchester United who finished second.
