It is up in news today that Kick Guardiola has concurred a three-year contract to end up Manchester City supervisor in the summer. The 45-year-old, right now in control at Bayern Munich, will supplant Manuel Pellegrini, who will leave on 30 June.
A statement from City said Chilean Pellegrini, 62, was “completely supportive” of the declaration being made. The club said negotiations with previous Barcelona mentor Guardiola had been “a recommencement of discussions that were abridged in 2012”.
Roberto Mancini was City boss at the time, and drove them to the domestic title that year. Pellegrini succeeded the Italian in 2013 and took the club to a Premier League and League Cup twofold the accompanying season. He has won 64 of his 99 Premier League games as a director, a record just eclipsed by Jose Mourinho, who won 73 of his opening 99 league matches as Chelsea boss.
City could yet win four trophies under Pellegrini this season. They are as of now through to the last of the League Cup and are second in the league behind Leicester City. The Blues are also through to the knockout stages of the Champions League and will play Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Pellegrini said, “I talked to the club and I will finish my contract on the original date. We signed a contract for one more year, but with a clause that one of the club or me cannot use that extended contract. So I will finish here on the original date. They are not doing anything behind me. I knew this a month ago. But I don’t think it’s good, this rumor and speculation about different things. I would prefer to finish the speculation today. That’s why I told the press, I told the players, and I spoke with the club two weeks ago saying that I would do it.”
Trevor Sinclair BBC Radio 5 live that, “He’s the hottest manager out there. Every club would want him. And when you look at the recruitment possibilities now that are where you really start to get excited. He’ll be able to bring in some huge players.”
