Pep Guardiola, the Spanish football coach, has made history by becoming the fastest coach to reach 100 wins in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
Guardiola has achieved a remarkable feat in just 158 ??games, beating the previous record held by Carlo Ancelotti, who took 188 games to reach the milestone.

Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary former manager of Manchester United, has won 102 Champions League games in 190 games, while Ancelotti won 107 games in 188 games.
Both of these managers have had extremely successful careers and left an indelible mark on the competition. However, Guardiola's achievements are testament to his dedication and skill as a manager.
He has always shown the ability to motivate and inspire his teams to achieve the highest, and his record in the Champions League speaks for itself.
Guardiola's success comes not only from his tactical skills but also in his ability to develop and nurture young talents.
Many of the players he has worked with have become world-class players.
Guardiola's achievement is sure to be celebrated by Manchester City fans and football fans everywhere. As he continues to lead his team in search of more glory, it is certain that he will continue to be a major force in European football.
