City had earlier in the season beaten Arsenal to the Premier League crown before silencing rivals United at Wembley to lift the FA Cup.

The team's triumph this season under Pep has now seen Henry claim the Spaniard is the best manager of all time.

"Pep is the best coach I have ever seen," the legendary Frenchman told CBS Sports via ESPN.

"And I will say why. First and foremost, you (Pep) improve players. And that is valuable for me. Second of all, you are creating positions that people are now going to form players to be in those positions," Henry added in a video.
