On Saturday, the victory at the Camp Nou stadium against the "Real Sociedad" team was the 160th win for the Catalonia club since being led by current coach Josep Guardiola.
Over half a decade ago, taking over the reins of the team, the Catalan has already achieved the same number of victories as his predecessor, Frank Rijkaard, who was the head coach of "Barcelona" from 2003 to 2008.
However, J. Guardiola achieved 160 wins in 222 official matches, while F. Rijkaard needed 273 games to reach this mark.
Since the fall of 2008, the 41-year-old J. Guardiola, leading "Barcelona," has 160 wins, 44 draws, and only 18 losses to his name, and the team he coaches has won 13 trophies in 16 official tournaments.
Coaching "Barça" for five years, F. Rijkaard won 160 matches in 273 games with the Catalonia club, played 63 draws, and suffered 50 losses.
The most successful coach of all time for the Catalonia club is still the Dutchman Johan Cruyff. He celebrated 250 victories in 430 official matches.
By the way, the match against "Real Sociedad" on Saturday was J. Guardiola's 601st in his entire career with the Catalonia club. In 379 matches, J. Guardiola represented "Barça" as a player, and in 222 matches as head coach.
