Agent confirms Manchester City boss wants to stay in Premier League
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to remain in the Premier League after he leaves the Etihad Stadium, according to his agent.
The Chilean announced yesterday that he would be leaving City at the end of the season, in order to be replaced by Pep Guardiola, who is leaving his role at Bayern Munich.
Pellegrini dropped the bombshell during his press conference, but he admitted that he knew about the plans for the past month and felt like it was the right time to announce it to the public.
Speaking about his client’s future, Pellegrini’s agent has already admitted that he wants to remain in the Premier League if possible, which has put Chelsea on red-alert as they are currently searching for their next permanent manager.
Agent Speaks Out
“[Manuel] can listen to offers but it doesn’t have to be Manchester United or Chelsea. He will hear and analyse the proposals and then decide. There’s no offer on the table,” Jesus Martinez told Chilean radio.
“He spent five or six years 40km [from Valencia] when he was at Villarreal. He lived in the city, has experienced the atmosphere and loves it.
“The Premier League remains the most exciting for Manuel. He’s had three wonderful years and he’s crazy for that competition.”
