Paying homage, that is what this
is. Pellegrini has said other two clubs are interested in Guardiola, not just
City.
It was rumoured that Pep Guardiola would be leaving
Bayern and take over from Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City.
A one year contract extension signed by Pellegrini has
quelled such rumors.
“You can sign for 10 years and four months after you
are sacked!” he told reporters.
“When the two parts are happy you can extend. The
owners are happy in the way we are working, I am happy so we know about the
future.
“Of course Pep Guardiola is a manager every team will
want to manage them. Maybe he’s more linked to this team because of Txiki
[Begiristain, City’s sporting director].
“So no problem with my relations inside the club.
“I was used, last season, to the speculation.
Ancelotti supposedly had a pre-contract signed and Jurgen Klopp had also a
contract.
“I know what they think about that. I know what
happened with that thing.”
Pellegrini insists he is now focusing on his immediate
future with the club, starting with reclaiming the Premier League title from
reigning champions Chelsea.
He said: “Of course I think I can be long term but it
is impossible to know what you do. We know our profession and you don’t know
what will happen over 2-3 years or long term.
“I think it is important to be focused this season,
not to think this is just a transitional season.
“It is important for the club to trust our work. And I
am happy here. You need results. I want to have a good season and result with
this team.”
