Manuel Pellegrini

Manchester City v Arsenal - Barclays Premier League

After last season’s title scalp, the current campaign hasn’t exactly gone to plan, with inconsistency overshadowing Manchester City’s campaign.

Pellegrini failed to get enough credit for City’s title win, and has come under pressure this season with his job under threat.
Dubbed ‘The Engineer’, Pellegrini’s managerial prowess was first noticed while at Spanish outfit Villarreal where they were a force to be reckoned with from 2004-2009 in both La Liga and the Champions League, after a year’s stint as Real Madrid’s chief in 2009 failed miserably.

The Chilean then moved onto Malaga in 2010, and soon guided them to the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
However, does he react to bad criticism or bad publicity? Absolutely not. To say that he is a true gentleman of football is an understatement.
