Manchester City, led by Guardiola, won 3-1 in the final match against West Ham in the 38th round of the 2023-24 EPL at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on the 20th (Korean time).
Manchester City won the EPL for the fourth consecutive season with 28 wins, seven draws and three losses (91 points), beating Arsenal (89 points), the second-ranked team. Manchester City is the first team to win the EPL for four consecutive seasons, which was founded in 1992. 메이저사이트
Coach Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of the rival team and a long-time rival, also praised Guardiola for his fourth consecutive loss.
Klopp, who will leave Liverpool after nine years in charge at the end of this season, is one of the best leaders leading the EPL along with Pep.
The two coaches, who had no choice but to play a cool-headed game on the ground, expressed their sincerity toward each other when one coach won and the other was scheduled to leave the team.
Klopp spent time praising Guardiola separately at his last press conference after his last game in Liverpool.
"Without Guardiola, Manchester City would not have won the title for four consecutive seasons. The feat was made by Guardiola's great ambition, the best coach."
When Pep heard the news from local reporters after confirming his win, he said, "I will miss Klopp a lot. He played a very important role in my life. Klopp was my competitor, and thanks to him, I was able to take things to the next level."
"I didn't see Klopp's farewell match (the final match will be held at the same time), but I hope it became a special memory for him. I sincerely hope that everything will go well anywhere in the future," he said.
