By the numbers: Pep Guardiola reaches 1,000 games in a remarkable coaching
career

It all started on Sept. 2, 2007, in a Spanish fourth-tier game against Premia
in front of around 2,000 fans.
Eighteen years later, Pep Guardiola will reach 1,000 games as a coach when he
leads Manchester City into one of the biggest games in world soccer --- against
Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
"I never thought for one second about reaching 1,000 games," the 54-year-old
Guardiola said. "You just want to do a good job, play football the right way
and see what happens."
From his first job with Barcelona ?B' to trophy-laden stints with Barcelona,
Bayern Munich and City, here's a by-the-numbers look at Guardiola's remarkable
coaching career that has changed the face of soccer.
___
715 Number of wins from Guardiola's 999 games so far. It's a win-rate of 71.57%.
40 Number of trophies won by Guardiola in his coaching career, averaging one every 25 matches.
10 Number of seasons at Man City, making it by far his longest tenure as a coach.
9 Most goals scored by Guardiola's teams in a single match. It has happened twice --- firstly Barcelona in a 9-0 thrashing of L'Hospitalet in the Copa del Rey in December 2011 and then Man City in a 9-0 beating of Burton Albion in the English League Cup in January 2019.
3 Number of Champions League titles won by Guardiola (2009 and 2011 with Barcelona, 2023 with Man City ). Only one coach, Carlo Ancelotti (five), has more.
1 Number of seasons taken off by Guardiola since 2007 --- a sabbatical in 2012-13 during which he spent time in New York. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
