In his first press conference as city manager.

They say that the best form of defence is attack. Pellegrini bore that in mind in his first press conference as the Manchester City manager. The English press were ready to jump on him after Ferrán Soriano, the CEO of the Manchester club, assured that the challenge is to win five titles in the next five years.

\"Just five? We will try to win as many titles as possible,\" said Pellegrini laughing. However, Pellegrino frowned when he was reminded that he has only won an Intertoto Cup while managing in Europe.

\"I won lots of titles in South America. In Spain it is difficult to win titles with Villareal. Just as it is difficult to get to the semis of the Champions League. I was only at Madrid for a year and we beat the club\\\'s league points record – up until last season. I\'m sure I would have won lots of trophies if I had stayed. Málaga is the same as Villarreal. Just to say that we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season. We were knocked out in the quarterfinals because of a refereeing error,\" he said in statements picked up by Chile\'s \'Canal 13\'.

IMO he was very underrated, and he can build a strong offensive team, your impressions ?

He will definitely succeed. Even Ronaldo, Guti, and Raul spoke out against Pelegrini being fired from his Madrid job. It created all the ensuing chaos afterwards. But I think that Mourinho was a necessary step in Madrid's evolution. You see, Pelegrini back then had no experience of managing a world-class team like Madrid. Sure, he managed Villareal really well, but he had NO experience with one of the big boys in WF. But now, I think he'll do really well at City, since he already knows how bad the consequences will be if he doesn't succeed.

Seems like a very serious guy from what I have seen in the City videos. Hopefully, he can extract the best out of the squad.

He will he is very underrated but able to manage a big team, you will see how good will City be with him, at least for CL.

I am not sure who you are all referring to when calling him "underrated". I think most people who know their stuff in football rate him highly.
As far as I'm concerned, I think he will do very well at City. Maybe not instantly, but def. over time. I was angry when he went there because Mancini was the perfect cryptonite to their team.

As for Real, I believe he most def. would've won a lot with them. He did extremely well for his first year with many new players and his most important player injured for half the season. I think the way he was treated by Perez was disgraceful.

Looks like he has brought in Negredo and is going to wrap up Jovetic soon to play behind the striker. I hope he knows what he is doing because I havent watched either of these players play much and from what limited I have seen of Negredo, he looks too similar to Dzeko to me.

best of luck for him , i'm pretty sure he'll succeed ! he'll face mourinho several times , it'll be a tough competition between the two ex madrid managers

Negredo is a good Striker, but i find him a little slow for a number 9.

shared secret tactic ahahaha
