The Catalan is approaching the end of his tenth campaign in Manchester having previously stayed for four at Barcelona and three with Bayern Munich.
In that time, he’s led us to a magnificent haul of 19 major honours so far and while he accepts that success is important to his length of service, there’s so much more to City that explains what has kept him happy in Manchester.
Speaking in Friday’s press conference ahead of our crucial Monday night trip to Everton in the Premier League, Guardiola called back to a former City favourite who has complimented the club since leaving.
“I would not have been here 10 years if I didn’t have the environment,” he began.
“Aymeric Laporte helped us a lot and in a newspaper in Spain he said City is the best club in the world. You never realise how organised they are until you leave.

“That is the biggest compliment we can have. Players leave and say that place was incredible. I have the same feeling. I would not be 10 years without the incredible environment.
“I would not feel like I have that energy I do and coming here to work on my day off. There are many details that explain how the club takes care of us and our families so we as a manager or players just think about what we have to do.
“We won a lot and that’s why they trust us because you have success but apart from that, the club is extraordinary. I love when Gundogan came back from Barca and said City is top.
“That is why we are consistent in the Champions League for the last 15 years and always fighting for titles because there are systems around the players and bubbles that feel good.”
Pressed on what makes the environment so special, the boss pointed to some of the team behind the team that helps to keep coaches and players focused on performance on the pitch.
“The player care department is unbelievable,” he said.
“All the people there are incredible. You need something with your family, always they can help you with that.
“The food is exceptional, the cooks are top. The chairman is always there supporting us. It’s a big club but the family is so tight.
“Always I say to the club, try to make it so the players can be disappointed if they don’t play but they can’t complain about the rest.”

Jack Grealish, on loan from City, has been integral to their improvements this term under David Moyes but will now miss the rest of the season through injury.
Guardiola says he’s enjoyed seeing the England international enjoy his football at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
“I want the best for him,” he said.
I know his impact was really good and he played the minutes he had in the Treble [2022/23] season.
“The injury then did not help him and hopefully next season he can continue to play.
“[If he can get back to his best] depends on him but his quality is in no doubt.”
