adminand has told the club and their fans that he is leaving.
The Chilean coach refused to say he was definitely joining City but the Blues are confident of announcing his appointment in the next seven days.
“I’m fortunate to have some very good options and Manchester City is one of them,” said Pellegrini.
The former Real Madrid and Villarreal boss is excited about next season and said he is leaving Malaga after two-and-a-half years to “fulfil his sporting ambitions”.
Malaga refused to let Pellegrini leave until their La Liga campaign finished on Sunday night and the South American has guided them to sixth.
That is good enough for a Europa League place, although the Andalucian club must overturn a European ban to take up that spot.
Speaking after Malaga’s 3-1 win over Deportiva la Coruna, Pellegrini said: “You cannot ask for a better farewell.
“I wanted to leave here winning, and that’s what I’ve done. I leave here with the team in Europe for the second successive season. I’m going to remember this for a long time.
“Our goal was to be in Europe because this club deserves it. It’s been a historic two-and-a-half years here. There have been days that I will never forget.”— The Mirror.
