Every Trophy Pep Guardiola Has Won

In the modern era, few figures have had a greater influence on football than Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard's success with his signature tiki-taka philosophy at Barcelona not only redefined how the game could be played but also inspired a generation of managers to adopt and adapt his innovative approach.

Now at the helm of Manchester City, Guardiola has continued to break boundaries and rack up silverware at a relentless pace. His tactical brilliance, attention to detail, and relentless pursuit of perfection have cemented his place among the all-time greats. But it’s not just his style that sets him apart—his astonishing trophy haul speaks for itself. With City aiming for even more glory in the FA Cup and the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup at the close of the 2024/2025 season, here’s a look back at the incredible collection of trophies Guardiola has amassed throughout his legendary managerial career.

Barcelona

Widely regarded as the greatest manager in Barcelona’s illustrious history, Pep Guardiola’s trophy-laden spell at the Camp Nou remains one of the most iconic chapters in football. Taking charge of the first team in his very first senior managerial role, Guardiola inherited a golden generation of talent—many of whom had come through La Masia, including a young Lionel Messi, already on his path to greatness.

But it wasn’t just the talent at his disposal—it was how Guardiola shaped it. His revolutionary tactics, high pressing, fluid passing, and positional play transformed Barça into a near-unstoppable force. He delivered two Champions League titles, including a masterclass against Manchester United in the 2011 final at Wembley that left even Sir Alex Ferguson in awe. Domestically, Guardiola’s side asserted total dominance, winning three consecutive La Liga titles along with multiple Copa del Rey and Super Cup triumphs. Simply put, Guardiola’s Barcelona set a standard that may never be matched again.

Bayern Munich

After taking a year-long sabbatical following his glittering tenure at Barcelona, Pep Guardiola was announced as the successor to the legendary Jupp Heynckes at Bayern Munich for the 2013/2014 season. His reign began with a setback, losing the German Super Cup to Borussia Dortmund, but he quickly bounced back by winning the UEFA Super Cup—defeating his old rival Jose Mourinho, now at Chelsea, in a tense penalty shoot-out.

Guardiola maintained Bayern's domestic dominance, securing three consecutive Bundesliga titles and adding two DFB-Pokal trophies to his collection. However, his spell in Bavaria was often overshadowed by the club's repeated failures to clinch the Champions League crown. Despite their domestic supremacy, Bayern consistently fell short in Europe, leading to ongoing scrutiny. Ultimately, it wasn’t a major surprise when Guardiola announced he would move on at the end of his contract, ready for a new challenge elsewhere.
