Future bright for Pellegrini

Date published: 11 July 2013


NEW manager Manuel Pellegrini believes his track record shows he is the right man for the Manchester City job.

The Chilean is well aware of the club’s target of five trophies in the next five seasons - and is expected to promote more stylish football and youth development.

Having guided Villarreal and Malaga to the latter stages of the Champions League, as well as having spent a single season in charge at Real Madrid, he has plenty of class.

The 59 year old’s lack of major trophies has raised eyebrows: “I won a lot of trophies in South America, but it was very difficult for Villarreal to win a title in Spain.

“I am sure if I stayed at Real Madrid, we could have won a lot of trophies.”
