Pep Guardiola or Sir Alex Ferguson. Who is the Greatest Premier League Manager Of All Time?
Manchester City won the Premier League title on Tuesday after crosstown opponents Manchester United suffered a 2-1 loss to Leicester City at Old Trafford.
The Cityzens previously lifted the League Cup trophy in April after overcoming Tottenham 1-0 at Wembley.
With both the League Cup and the Premier League trophy grasped, City will now hope to add their third major piece of silver this summer in the form of the Champions League title.
Speaking after United’s defeat, Savage made a strong claim that Guardiola is the “best manager I’ve witnessed in the Premier League.”
The 46-year-old Welsh theorist told BT Sport: “Especially to think when [City] lost at Spurs, they were 14th in the table.
“He then evolved the side, put [Joao] Cancelo into the team, brought him into a midfield position — a free role — amazing performances.

“Pep improves players and that side is incredible. For me, the best manager I’ve witnessed in the Premier League.”
Savage’s call on Guardiola was quickly rejected by United legend Rio Ferdinand.
Reacting to Savage, Ferdinand simply said: “Just like Chris Sutton said, you should go and get your coat.”
Savage laughed off Ferdinand’s rejoinder as he revealed why he would rank Guardiola ahead of Ferguson as the Premier League’s best manager.
And the former Wales international added that Guardiola would become the “best ever” if he managed to lead City to the Champions League title this term.
Savage explained: “Listen, the reason I’m saying this: Sir Alex, the record he has, but overall, at Bayern [Munich], Barcelona and Manchester City — the way teams from the Premier League down to grassroots play like Manchester City.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. Listen, he’s won trophies with teams he should win trophies with.
“If he wins the Champions League with Man City, for me, the best ever.”
United legend Gary Neville has even acknowledged that Guardiola might be the best manager of all time after a glorious trophy-laden career.
Manchester City will play in their first Champions League final on 29th May against Premier League rivals Chelsea in Istanbul.
