Pep Guardiola has won 15 major trophies since taking charge of Manchester City but remains hungry for more after signing a two-year contract extension to take his stay at the Etihad beyond a decade.
Since a difficult first campaign in 2016/17, Guardiola has won six Premier League titles in the past seven seasons, including an unprecedented four in a row.
The Catalan also delivered on the ambition of City's Abu Dhabi-based owners to win the Champions League for the first time in 2023 as part of just the second treble in English football history.
He has turned City into a winning machine similar to those he oversaw at European powerhouses Barcelona and Bayern Munich in his first years of a glorious managerial career.
The 53-year-old has won 12 league titles in 15 seasons as a senior coach across three of the toughest divisions in the world, in Spain, Germany and England.
Guardiola also has three Champions League titles to his name – the joint second-highest tally in the history of European club football's elite competition.
But his latest commitment to the English champions is arguably the most significant during a period of turmoil on and off the pitch.
For the first time in Guardiola's coaching career he has lost four consecutive matches as City struggle to cope with a mounting injury list, including the loss of Ballon d'Or winner Rodri for the remainder of the season.
There is even doubt over which division City will be in next season as a hearing into 115 charges for breaches of Premier League rules has begun – although the club deny any wrongdoing.
"I felt I could not leave now, simple as that," said Guardiola on his reasoning for staying in the job.
"Maybe the four defeats were the reason why and I felt I cannot leave. I felt the club still want me "
With 39 trophies in his collection, he is already one of the most decorated coaches in football history.
But Guardiola's influence goes well beyond lifting silverware.
RIVALS TURN TO GUARDIOLA'S LEAD
His brand of passing football and insistence on building out from the back, even under pressure, is now a key part of the game from grassroots through to the elite level.
Even City's competitors have turned to Guardiola's disciples to catch up.
Arsenal, managed by Guardiola's former assistant Mikel Arteta, narrowly missed out on their first Premier League title for 20 years last season, amassing 89 points to City's 91.
Chelsea have also turned to a former member of Guardiola's coaching staff in Enzo Maresca, while Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said his coaching philosophy was shaped by watching the City boss' Barcelona team.
Guardiola was even briefly linked with taking over as England manager due to the impact he has had on the nation's football culture.
An upturn in the Three Lions' performances at major tournaments has coincided with Guardiola's arrival. A number of City players such as Kyle Walker, John Stones and Phil Foden have been key to that success.
"It has been brilliant for our players to work with him," said former England manager Gareth Southgate. "They have learned from him, individually and tactically and, as much as anything, their mentality."
However, Guardiola's notoriously exacting standards have helped chip away at the competitiveness of the Premier League.
Despite their struggles of late, City are still second in the table and just five points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
And Guardiola already has more silverware in his sights before bringing his time in Manchester to an end.
"I have everything a manager could ever wish for, and I appreciate that so much," he added.
"Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus."
