Manuel Pellegrini being considered by Chelsea?

Pellegrini is expected to be replaced by Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola at the end of the season and Bayern Munich have already indicated that Pep will not return to the team.

These fresh reports could point to the fact that he is City bound, with the Manchester clubs vast spending power key to Guardiola bringing Suarez with him. Abramovich is also a fan of Pep Guardiola and will certainly hope that he can lure Pep away from the Manchester clubs.

Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini is praying for the return of injured captain Vincent Kompany to shore up his team’s defence and keep them in the hunt for the Premier League title.

The 62-year-old’s future at the Etihad has been called into question recently amid rumours that the City hierarchy are planning to approach departing Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola about taking over in the summer. We won the FA Cup in the last two seasons and you need character to win the FA Cup.

“I think in the last games we made a lot of collective mistakes”.

“It was true for a while because we were a young team and a young team can be up and down”, Wenger said. I don’t know if it is next season here [at City] or at another club.

Now Mourinho could be the manager required to deliver that much-needed adrenalin shot to a disjointed squad, which has crashed out of the Champions League in the group stage after only just rejoining Europe’s elite. We are all very happy with Manuel and it’s not something that I look at.

“He is a calm, balanced professional who can deal with stars and lets you play a flexible style of football – we have found what we were looking for”.

Having joined Bayern in 2013 to much fanfare, Guardiola has so far won five trophies with the Bavarian giants, giving him a career total of 19 as coach following his 14 in four years from 2008-2012 at Barcelona.

City – who won the Premier League and Capital One Cup under Pellegrini in 2014, but nothing last season – are now third in the table, one behind second-placed Arsenal. “Some day he’ll come here”, he said in quotes reported by several national newspapers on Sunday.

Pellegrini has 18 months to run on his current contract, but he acknowledges that that will count for nothing if City opt to move in another direction.

“It’s a great honour for me that I will be trainer of such a great club as FC Bayern next season”, Ancelotti, who has signed a three-year contract until 2019, wrote on Twitter.

“That would be a very successful three years in charge – two titles and runners-up”.
