Pep Guardiola has now won a trophy every 24 games of his managerial career after guiding Manchester City to a fifth English Premier League title.
City was crowned champion of England on Tuesday as Leicester City beat second place Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.
The defeat for United means it can no longer catch City in its final three games.
City's title was its fourth in five years and the third under Guardiola, who took over as manager in the summer of 2016.

During his five seasons at the club, the Spaniard has also guided City to seven other trophies - one FA Cup, two Community Shields, and four League Cups.
"This has been a season and a Premier League title like no other," said Guardiola. "This was the hardest one. We will always remember this season for the way that we won. I am so proud to be the manager here and of this group of players."
Alongside his 10 trophies with City, Guardiola has also won 21 trophies during spells at
At Barcelona, where he spent most of his playing career and started his managerial career in 2012, Guardiola won 14 major honors, including two Champions League titles, in just four seasons.
After moving to Bayern in 2013, he then guided the German outfit to seven trophies in just three years.
In total, the 50-year-old coach has now won 31 trophies as a manager in 16 seasons and 740 games - which equates to a piece of silverware every 24 matches.
31 could become 32 in just 2 weeks time
Despite a glistening spell so far at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola has been unable to guide City to an elusive first Champions League title.
That could change on May 29, however, when City face Chelsea in an all-English final in Istanbul. Doing so would mean Guardiola has won a trophy every 23 games.
City has been dominant in the Champions League this season. After going undefeated in the group stage, Guardiola's side sealed a comfortable 4-0 aggregate victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in the last-16, before beating Borussia Dortmund 4-2 in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, City then produced arguably the greatest result in the club's history by beating Ligue 1 champion and last year's finalists Paris Saint Germain 4-1 across two legs.
Guardiola says reaching the final is a well-deserved reward for his and his players' hard work over the last four seasons.
"I think reaching the final of the Champions League helps us see the bigger picture of the last four years," he said after his side's second-leg win over PSG.
"What we have done in the last four years is incredible. In terms of the Premier League, the Carabao Cup and every competition. Reaching the final helps us to understand what we have done. It is unfair, but we have to accept it.
"To reach the final of this competition is so difficult. It is the toughest one, the quality of the opponent and the composure you have to have to suffer the toughest moments.
"We did it. We made an incredible Champions League season and now deserve to be there in the final."
