Betis wants to renew Manuel Pellegrini’s contract

Betis has already made a move and has let Manuel Pellegrini know that he wants to renew his contract, which expires in June 2023. The commendable work of the Chilean coach, capable of getting all the juice and more from a squad that had been the 15th shortly before his arrival, causes Villamarín to consider him the ideal one for a broader project than the three seasons that have been They signed him in June 2020.

Pellegrini has had approaches from exotic leagues and also from the Premier League, but his exit clause from Villamarín today implies a significant payment of more than five million euros. The Chilean has preferred to continue at Betis. But as of next summer, both the compensation and the price for the termination decrease considerably. With the contract extension, in Heliópolis they would continue to ‘shield’ the coach for some more season.

Be that as it may, it does not seem that the Engineer’s involvement for more years is going to take place imminently. A few days ago in an interview with Diario de Sevilla, this is how the protagonist himself allowed it to be glimpsed: “I am not concerned at this time about renewing my contract. I am happy at Betis, but my continuity depends on whether one is happy as a coach and what the institution does. It is not a priority issue at this time. I am happy and I have no intention nor am I looking for alternatives to go elsewhere “.

In the changing world of football, the results dictate sentence but with Pellegrini, who has once again brought the institution out of the well, there is unanimity in Betis and its surroundings: He is the ideal technician to try to take it to Europe continuously for several years.
