Pellegrini gets City extension
Print Edition
MANCHESTER City gave manager Manuel Pellegrini a huge vote of confidence on the eve of the new season yesterday by extending his contract for two more years.
That takes him through to June 2017, along with coaches Ruben Cousillas, Xabier Mancisidor and Jose Cabello.
“We are delighted to reach this agreement with Manuel Pellegrini who has already contributed so much to the development of Manchester City in his first two years with us and we look forward to further progress in the seasons ahead,” chief executive officer Ferran Soriano said.
Critics have suggested Pellegrini faced the sack if City did not regain the league title from Chelsea but the Chilean, who joined the club in 2013, believes the team will have “a very good” season.
“I am proud to manage Manchester City FC and am therefore very pleased to have agreed this contract,” he said. “I have a very good group of players and a great team of people to work with on and off the field and at all levels of the club.”
City starts its league program at West Bromwich Albion on Monday and plays Chelsea in its first home game.
At a news conference yesterday, Chilean Pellegrini insisted that City must not only win a trophy but play in the style he wanted.
“A good season for a big team is that you must win a title,” he said. “If I’m not happy with the way we play, it’s not a good season. So for me both things: firstly win, because we must win a title. Second, is to play in the way I like this team to play.”
