🔄 Recent History
Before 2008, City were a middle-of-the-table club, always in the shadow of Manchester United. After major investment and the arrival of Pep Guardiola in 2016, they became the benchmark of modern soccer, winning six Premier League titles in Guardiola's nine seasons. Guardiola departed in 2026, with Enzo Maresca — who left Chelsea for the role — now in charge. The club is still fighting Premier League charges over alleged financial rule breaches dating back to 2009-2018, a case that remains unresolved three years on (more on that here).
🐐 Greatest Ever Player
Unlike their neighbors, Manchester United, most of Man City's greatest players are from the modern era:
- Sergio Agüero — The club's greatest goalscorer.
- Kevin De Bruyne — One of the best midfielders to ever grace the Premier League, now playing for Napoli.
Erling Haaland is well on his way to joining that conversation.
