Pep Guardiola bids to become first coach to win Club World Cup with three teams

Pep Guardiola will this week attempt to create more history with Manchester City, both for the club and personally, too. Should the Spaniard lead his side to the Fifa Club World Cup crown in Saudi Arabia on Friday, he will become the first manager to capture the trophy four times – and the first to win it with three different clubs.

City, meanwhile, are looking to add the Club World Cup to their trophy cabinet for the first time. The current European champions, debuting in the tournament, have already won the Premier League, Uefa Champions League, FA Cup and Uefa Super Cup this year.

Here, we cast our minds back to Guardiola’s three Club World Cup successes thus far, as City enter the 2023 tournament in Jeddah at the semi-final stage on Tuesday, against Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds.

With the UAE hosting the Club World Cup for the first time, Barcelona came into the tournament chasing a historic sixth title in 2009.
