to win major domestic trophies since the 1970s. However, after 3 and a half seasons in charge, Mancini was sacked on 13 May 2013 following defeat in the FA Cup Final versus Wigan Athletic. On 14 June 2013, Manuel Pellegrini was confirmed as the new manager of the club after signing a 3-year contract and was the third manager, after Roberto Mancini and Brian Kidd (the latter as caretaker), to take charge of City under the ownership of ADUG. On 1 February 2016, Pellegrini announced that, despite signing a contract extension at the beginning of the 2015–16 season, he would be leaving upon the conclusion of his third season as manager, with his contract ending as originally planned upon his arrival in 2013. He would depart having won the 2013–14 Premier League & two League Cups, in 2013–14 & 2015–16, and also guiding City to its first-ever Champions League semi-final in 2016. On the same day that Pellegrini announced his planned departure, City announced that Pep Guardiola had agreed to succeed him as manager, with his tenure beginning on 1 July 2016. Despite a trophy-less first season in 2016–17, Guardiola would lead City to unprecedented success in the 2017–18 & 2018–19 seasons. In 2017–18, City won the Premier League with 100 points, setting countless records along the way whilst also winning the 2017–18 EFL Cup. The following season, the club became the first in the history of English football to complete the Domestic Treble by winning the Premier League, the FA Cup & the League Cup. Having won the 2018 FA Community Shield at the start of the season, City became the first team to win all four major English domestic honours in one season and to hold all four simultaneously. Guardiola has therefore become City's most successful manager in the club's history: winning 10 major English league and cup titles to date; and maintaining a win % in excess of 70%, at least 10% higher than any proceeding manager. On the European stage, Guardiola has taken City to a Champions League final, where they lost to Chelsea, for the first time in 2021, after three consecutive quarter-final exits (2018, 2019, 2020) and the round of 16 elimination in 2017.
