Pellegrini: City deal not done yet

31 May 2013 17:16

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed there is still no done deal between himself and Manchester City.

Malaga coach Pellegrini has been linked for some time with the manager's post at City - even before it became vacant through Roberto Mancini's sacking on May 13 - and the 59-year-old Chilean spoke earlier this week of having a "verbal commitment" with the club.

He stressed, though, that no contract had been signed, something he reiterated on Friday at a press conference where he was previewing Malaga's Primera Division final-day away clash with champions Barcelona on Saturday - a game he has already announced will be his last with the Andalusian club.

Asked if he had reached an agreement with City, Pellegrini said: "Not yet. Next Monday we will see where I go.

"On Sunday I finish my contract here with Malaga and on Monday we will start to see where I go next season."
