He helped City win the treble in his first season, breaking the Premier League&#8217;s season goals record, and praised the former Barcelona manager for his career and the impact he has had on the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;A coach who never stopped coaching.
