Pep Guardiola is once again in the running for the Premier League Manager of the Season award, and it's easy to see why. The Catalan tactician has steered Manchester City into another thrilling title race, having already lifted the trophy in six of his nine full seasons at the helm.

With just two matches left to play, City trail league leaders Arsenal by two points—setting the stage for a dramatic finish. Guardiola has expertly blended a young, hungry squad with seasoned veterans who know exactly what it takes to win under pressure. The result? A team that leads the division in goals scored, with an impressive 75 netted in 36 games, and a 14-match unbeaten run in the league as the season winds down.

This isn't new territory for Guardiola, who has won this prestigious award five times before (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2022/23, and 2023/24). This season, he faces stiff competition from a diverse group of nominees, including Brentford's Keith Andrews, Arsenal's Mikel Arteta, Manchester United interim Michael Carrick, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, and Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris.

Voting closes at midday on Monday, May 18, and the winner will be announced on Tuesday, May 26. As the final weeks heat up, now's the perfect time to show your support and bring the title home—literally. Get 50% off our home shirt right now at shop.mancity.com and gear up for the finish line.
