In terms of football, Manchester is always known for its Red Devils brigade, but in recent years, another great team of this century have proved this wrong and carved its name in the Premier League's greatest clubs, and the team is Manchester City. The sky-blue brigade are arguably the greatest club of this century. Manchester City F.C.'s last season were full of ups and downs, as the sky-blue brigade went trophyless in the 2024-25 season, marking the worst season since the arrival of one of the greatest managers in modern football's history, Josep “Pep” Guardiola. The nickname of Manchester City fans are Cityzens. Under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City employs a high-pressing attacking style, combining positional dominance with their tactics. Pep Guardiola is currently rebuilding Manchester City after the 2024-25 season's failure. They have already signed Ryan Cherki and Tijani Reijnders to strengthen their squad, as they will go all out for the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League title.

Manchester City Club History – Founding, Growth & Milestones

Manchester City Football Club were founded in Manchester, England, in 1880. In 1892, Manchester City were included in the Football League, which was the second division of English football. Man City won their first ever trophy, as FA Cup, in 1904, defeating Bolton Wanderers. In 1899, Manchester City earned its first promotion to the First Division. In Manchester City club history, they were crowned as the champions of the Second Division. In 1998, Manchester City F.C. were relegated to the third division, which was the first time they had been relegated in the lower division in Manchester City club history.

However, under Joe Royle's managerial tenure, Manchester City instantly earned promotion in their first try. In the 2002-2003 Season, Manchester City won the Manchester derby in a 3-1 scoreline after waiting for 13 long years. Additionally, on that season, Manchester City F.C. first time qualified for a European Competition first time after waiting 25 years. In the close 2003–04 season, the club moved to the new City of Manchester Stadium. The first four seasons at the stadium all resulted in mid-table finishes. Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson became the club's first foreign manager when appointed in 2007.

Back in the modern footballing era, in 2020, Manchester City were already a successful and proven club in terms of trophies. However, they are lacking in finding domestic and European glory regularly, as Manchester City F.C. decided to sign a already proven manager, but they had two options back in the year: Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. Manchester City rivals signed Jose Mourinho as their new head coach, and Manchester City signed Pep Guardiola to give a tight competition to their fierce rivals, Manchester United F.C. Since then, Manchester City F.C. have never seen a downgrade, and their city rivals, Manchester United, have fallen off. Manchester City have won a total of 36 major honors throughout their history. This includes 10 league titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, 7 FA Charity/Community Shields, 1 UEFA Champions League, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and 1 FIFA Intercontinental Championship.
