WHAT HAPPENED?

The Spaniard has brought in key cornerstone pieces to the club while also integrating young talent into the team, allowing for versatility across the board between youth and experience.Inter Milan's Simone Inzaghi, Celtic and Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou, Napoli's Luciano Spalleti and Barcelona's Xavi were also finalists for the award.

THE BIG PICTURE:

Guardiola made 42 caps for the Spanish national team from 1992 to 2001, scoring five goals.
