However, guiding his side to a 15-match winning streak helped them upstaged Liverpool to emerge victorious in the league eventually.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has now joined Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho as the only coaches to have won the prize three times, while only Sir Alex Ferguson has more.
Meanwhile, the three men are also the only managers in the history of the EPL who can match Guardiola’s three title wins.
Pep outshined managers like Marcelo Bielsa, David Moyes, Brendan Rodgers, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to win the award this season.
Also, Man City star Ruben Dias was voted the Player of the Season, Phil Foden won the Hublot Young Player of the Season and Liam Delap named the PL2 Player of the Season.
