Anyone think this could simply be a typo for Mauricio Pellegrino being promoted?

:angel:
 
Loads of rumours about Pellegrini meeting Kenny today, and that another meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. Someone on TLW, had info from their family in Chile, who knows Pellegrinis family, and they've said he's deffo meeting CP tomorrow and could be confirmed as our new manager on monday.

Probably BS, but would be a great choice. Excellent manager.

C'mon man.

No need for that
 
Pellegrini scored 1 goal in 451 appearances...

This is not relevant information at all.
 
Club career

Born in Santiago, Pellegrini attended the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Santiago,[1] where he graduated as a civil engineer in 1979.
As a footballer, he played his entire career for Universidad de Chile, making a total of 451 appearances, scoring 1 goal.
[edit]Managerial career

As a coach, he has managed teams mostly in Argentina and Chile. San Lorenzo obtained their first international title while Pellegrini was manager.

Chile
He started coaching Universidad de Chile during the 1988 season, year in which he unfortunately lost the category, a very disappointing situation for one of the most popular clubs in the country. After coaching Palestino and O`Higgins, he became coach of Universidad Catolica, another one of the biggest clubs from Chile, and he had an amazing team with players such as Alberto Acosta and Nestor Gorosito, but he could only finish as runner-up during 1994 and 1995 seasons.

LDU Quito
Pellegrini coached Ecuadorian club LDU Quito to a national title in 1999, starting a tradition of coaches that followed him to the Ecuadorian team. He had a good presentation in Copa Libertadores with the team that put him in the eye of GM's of other South American teams.

San Lorenzo
The years with Universidad Catolica were fundamental in his career as Nestor Gorosito, an Icon of San Lorenzo of Argentina, would later on recommend Pellegrini to the team and his recommendation would reap rewards when the Chilean coach led Los Cuervos to the 2001 Clausura title and the Copa Mercosur, South America's UEFA Cup equivalent.

River Plate
Pellegrini secured the Clausura championships at Los Milionarios (2003) in which he utilised the talents of Andres D'Alessandro, one of many Argentine playmakers to have been likened to Diego Maradona. However his sale to Vfl Wolfsburg proved a tough hurdle for Pellegrini to overcome and his side struggled to defend their status as Argentine champions in the 2003 Torneo Apertura. He quit his post at the end of the campaign.

Villarreal
Pellegrini took over the managerial duties of Villarreal on July 1, 2004. In his first season in charge of the club, Villarreal qualified for the Champions League after finishing third in the league and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. The following season Villarreal reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2005-06, losing to Arsenal. Villarreal eventually finished seventh in La Liga that year. The following two seasons featured Villarreal finishing in both 5th and 2nd place in the league, the latter being historic for the club. Pellegrini led "The Yellow Submarines" to the Champions league knockout stages, where they drew Arsenal once again in the quarter-finals, losing out 4-1 on aggregate.
According to percentage of points gained, Pellegrini is the second most successful South American club manager in La Liga within the last 25 years, coming after Vanderlei Luxemburgo.[2]
At the end of 2007, Villarreal offered him an extended contract until 2011. On May 31, 2009, after the last La Liga match for Villareal, Pellegrini said "nobody from Real Madrid has spoken with me. I have a contract with Villarreal, we finished the league today, and tomorrow we go on holiday", after being inquired by the press.[3] On June 1, 2009, Villareal executive announced that Pellegrini would no longer continue at the club. The Valencian club executive specified that if Real Madrid wanted to sign the Chilean coach, they would have to pay Pellegrini's 4 million euros termination clause.[4]

Real Madrid
Nevertheless announcing he was leaving on holidays, Pellegrini was announced on June 1, 2009 as Real Madrid's new manager with his formal presentation to follow on June 2.[5] He joined Real Madrid as the first manager in Florentino Pérez's second stint as Real Madrid president. After a few days, Pellegrini scouted Kaká from AC Milan because he said "If we want to win the Champions League and be the best team in the world, we need the best players in the world".[6] They later bought Cristiano Ronaldo for £80million from Manchester United later that transfer window, and Karim Benzema from Olympique Lyonnais for £30million. Despite the club's record spending they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in the round of 16, for the sixth time in a row, being beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Olympique Lyonnais. In La Liga Madrid achieved a club record of 96 points, however it was not enough to finish above Barcelona, who won the championship with 99 points. He was sacked by the club on 26 May 2010. Pellegrini is expected to meet with representatives of Liverpool Football Club on June 18th 2010 to discuss the possibility of taking over the vacant managerial post at Anfield, also he fancies a piece of Daglish.

His teams play good football. Let's wait and see what happens but something needs to. The suspense is killing me!
 
He worked miracles consistently at Villareal and did a sterling job in the league for Real last year.

He'd be a really good appointment relative to Corpse Hodgson.
 
Based on how he turned Villareal into a team that could challenge the big boys in Spain and Europe and that video he seems like a good option.
 
Yeah, I'd be v happy with Pelligrini

Whilst it would be great if Kenny came in and turned everything round, it would also be awful if he didnt, much worse than another manager failing.

I'd probably see Pellegrini as a more exciting appointment than the other two frontrunners as Hodgson is the boring safe bet, whilst Dalglish would only be a stop-gap.

His time was at Real was a bit weird (as it is for most managers there). He arrived in time to see half the first team replaced with new (albeit excellent) players - not an easy job managing that kind of disruption to the squad - and a massive increase in expectations. They had a bit of a mad season in which I think they traded a lot on the brilliance of one or two players and the other sides in La Liga being shit, but still managed to achieve a record points haul that should've won them the title.

We'd probably be better off looking at his time at Villarreal. They bought well, played attractive possession football and massively exceeded expectations. I don't think this is a Juande Ramos situation (although I suppose you never know), so who knows, might be a good punt for Liverpool. He's free as well.
 
This was in AS way back on the 4th.

Hadn't noticed it before.

Benitez's Anfield exit was confirmed yesterday, with the two sides parting ways by mutual consent. The Spaniard enjoyed almost six years at the helm, winning the Champions League and the FA Cup, but last season proved to be disastrous for Liverpool with Benitez now paying the price.

Inter Milan are assumed to be planning to offer Benitez the opportunity to take over at the San Siro, succeeding his arch-rival Jose Mourinho.

Speculation over who will be Benitez’s successor has already begun in earnest and AS claims that Liverpool are interested in Pellegrini and that “sources close to the Chilean coach†do not deny his interest in the position.

56-year-old Pellegrini survived only one season at Real Madrid , failing to win any silverware. He has previously coached at Villarreal, leading them to the Champions League semi-final and before that at River Plate in Argentina.

Frontrunners expected to be linked to the Liverpool hotseat also include Martin O'Neill, Roy Hodgson, Mark Hughes, Guus Hiddink and a possible return for Anfield legend Kenny Dalglis

Pellegrini said after his sacking, that Perez used to have a word in his ear about tactics and teamsheets.

Can't be the easiest place to be a manager.

I wonder if Perez will be arrogant enough to try that to Mourinho.

He shouldn't, or Jose will walk.

But you didn't put your usual "they would say this because blah blah corrupt blah blah" spin on it.

Therefore, you believe stuff when you want to.

Who are these "people in the know" with regard to Pelligrini ?

How do you know they haven't been hypnotised by spinning snakes ?

No I'm not.

You're the "spinning snake" inventor.

Does it only come out to play when you call it ?
 
A good manager, but will he be able to stop us selling all our best players?

If we don't appoint Dalglish, we're seriously heading for relegation within the next couple of years.

You think Chile are going to win The World Cup so your opinion is not to be taken seriously any more.
 
Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano, Johnson gone to repay the 100M that has to be paid as soon as possible.

Barely any money to replace these players.

More debt to repay down the line.

Errrm.... Corinthians, anyone.
