Manchester City has won the League Championship twice, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the European Cup Winners Cup once. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, under the management team of Joe Mercer, his assistant Malcolm Allison, and with great players such as Colin Bell and Francis Lee, the team won several major trophies and had their most successful period. Since 1976, the club has not won a major honour and decline led to relegation twice in three years in the 1990s, meaning they spent one year in the third tier of English football. The club has since regained Premier League status, putting them back in the top flight, the division in which they have spent the majority of their history.
