Manuel Pellegrini signs with Betis for three seasons

It is official. Manuel Pellegrini will be the new Betis coach from next season. This was announced by the Verdiblanco club, which influenced the new coach to sign a contract until 2023 after an agreement that was already made in the absence of the team achieving mathematical permanence in the First Division. The victory against Osasuna gave free rein for the announcement: Betis places all its confidence in Pellegrini and demonstrates it with a three-season contract.

“Betis is committed to a high-level coach with great international prestige to raise the level of performance of the first team, framed in a three-year project.” This is how the official Betis statement is pronounced to confirm that your chosen one will have the controls of the team since the end of this course. The bad campaign under Rubi's leadership caused the club to move forward the hunt for alternatives and the election tries to send a message of hope and hope to the Betis fans, who are still far from meeting what has been promised for several seasons.

Alexis Trujillo, current Betis coach, already warned yesterday about the immediate announcement of the new Betis coach and everything was resolved with Pellegrini. The canary will finish the course in these remaining three days, although the 2020-2021 plan has already started and in Heliópolis the arrival of a sports director is also expected to change what happened in these last two courses. The name of Antonio Cordón, of Pellegrini's trust after a triumphant union in Villarreal, remains on the table despite the tough negotiations and the cost it would entail for the Betic team. With Pellegrini at the controls, Ángel Haro and José Miguel López Catalán try to put a new starting point towards a sporting growth as desired and forced.
