I don’t think enough people realize Manuel Pellegrini is such a genius of a coach. Many coaches don’t get the flowers they deserve, Pellegrini has never finished outside a European spot in La Liga before.
He’s been winning trophies as a Coach as far back as 1995. He also has a more serious CV than most managers people hype today LDU Quito, River Plate, Villarreal, Real Madrid, Málaga, Manchester City, West Ham United, Real Betis, even Hebei in China.
He has 14 full seasons in La Liga and has never missed a European spot. Fourteen out of fourteen. That level of consistency at the top level in one Europe top 5 league is absurd.
Real Betis, Málaga, Villarreal, Real Madrid. Five different teams, different expectations, different budgets, same outcome: competitive football and European qualification.
People also forget he took Villarreal to a Champions League semi-final and turned them into one of the best footballing sides in Spain. Then he dragged Málaga to the Champions League quarter-final and was literally moments away from knocking out Borussia Dortmund to reach another semi-final.
At Real Madrid, he got 96 points in the league and still lost the title because Pep’s Barcelona were operating at an insane level. Most managers would have won La Liga comfortably with that tally. Mourinho had to do 100 points to take the league from Barca. But leave that aside.
Then came to England, in his first season, he delivered a Premier League title for Manchester City playing free-flowing attacking football, not just robotic possession for the sake of it. Even at West Ham, he stabilised the club and left foundations that helped them improve afterwards.
What makes Pellegrini special is that everywhere he goes, his teams have identity. Calm build-up, technical football, attacking intent, stability over chaos. No unnecessary drama, no media gimmicks, just elite coaching year after year.
When football history looks back properly, Pellegrini will be recognised as one of the most consistent and underrated managers of his generation.

This was no hard luck story and the statistics are grim - 18 defeats, 2pts out of 24 away to teams in the top half, & losing home/away to both Manchester clubs for the first time since 1912-13.
A bad day for Slot as the same old issues blight Liverpool.

Virgil van Dijk on if he wants Curtis Jones to stay:
“Of course. I don’t know what’s going to happen because I’m not the boss.
“Curtis I thought was outstanding against Everton, was not too much spoken about but especially in possession he was quite a big game-changer, especially in his positioning.
"It’s nice to be in your original position but he is so comfortable on the ball, he understands what is asked from that position."

LeBron James addresses his 4-6 record in the NBA Finals, which is held against him by fans who point to Michael Jordan's 6-0 mark in the championship round:
"When I was younger, I used to have the notion of like, people were getting on me for losing in the Finals, and when I was younger, I used to listen to it," James said. "Like, people will really rather you not make the playoffs or lose in the first round than to lose in the Finals, which is crazy to me. And I almost feel like, is it because it's me? Everybody has to say something about my career: 'Oh, well, he made eight straight Finals, but he was only able to win three.' 'He's the leading scorer in NBA history, but he's played 23 years.'
"Yeah, but I am also fastest to 1,000 [points]. Fastest to 2,000. Fastest to 5,000. Fastest to 10,000. So when I started realizing it was just a knock on me, I started to appreciate it a little bit more. Like, I am pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the Finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger."
