Pep Guardiola has had a wonderful influence on the Premier League since he arrived at the helm of Manchester city. The Catalan recently signed a two-year deal with the Premier League Giants and he is considered by fans as the person who instigated a major change in English Football.
This type of reign in football in such a short time is unheard of and this set of records have not only thrilled thousands of City fans but also seen the record books rewritten in a host of different ways. Furthermore, it has also changed how most managers see the game throughout the land and there has been a change of techniques.
