Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wins the award for a fourth time, having also claimed it in three previous title-winning campaigns, in 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2020/21.
Under Guardiola’s leadership, Man City’s relentless pursuit of Arsenal, who had led the Premier League for much of the season, was rewarded with a fifth league title in seven years and a seventh overall, with 89 points in 38 games edging out the Gunners by five points.
Indeed, Guardiola makes it a hat-trick of honours for Man City, with Erling Haaland winning both Hublot Young Player of the Season and EA Sports Player of the Season.
“I’m delighted, it’s an incredible honour. I promise you next season we will be there to fight again to dignify this league as much as possible,” Guardiola said.
With City in the FA Cup final on 3 June and the UEFA Champions League final seven days later, Guardiola has the chance to lead the club to an historic treble.
The 52-year-old won after votes by the public were combined with those of a panel of football experts to decide who would top a six-man shortlist that also featued Mikel Arteta, Roberto De Zerbi, Unai Emery, Eddie Howe and Marco Silva.
