Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has eclipsed Louis van Gaal as the most successful manager in European club football after 100 games.

The ex-Barcelona boss lost his 100th match on Wednesday in the Champions League last-16 second leg with Monaco.

But his European record stands at 61 wins, 23 draws and 16 defeats.

That puts him marginally ahead of former Manchester United boss Van Gaal, who also won 61 of his first 100 games in Europe, but drew 22 and lost 17.

City won the first leg of their last-16 tie 5-3, but were beaten 3-1 in Monaco and went out of the competition on away goals.

Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, now in charge of Championship leaders Newcastle, has dropped from second to third on the list. He won 60, drew 22 and lost 18 of his first 100 games in European competition.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who won the Champions League twice with Manchester United, is 12th (W49; D32; L19), while current United boss Jose Mourinho is ninth (W54; D25; L21).

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger sits 27th on the list after winning 42 of his first 100 games in Europe, drawing 29 and losing 29.
