It gives Man City a February awards double, after Ilkay Gundogan was voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for a second time in a row.
City started the month with a sixth successive clean sheet in a 2-0 win at Burnley, before winning at champions Liverpool and then beating Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Arsenal and West Ham United.
It is the ninth time Guardiola has won the Barclays Manager of the Month award. Only Sir Alex Ferguson (27), Arsene Wenger (15) and David Moyes (10) can better his total.
He won the award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of football experts, beating Nuno Espirito Santo, Scott Parker and Thomas Tuchel.
