Pellegrini looking for 'right project'

Manuel Pellegrini has been at City for 3 seasons, enjoying some succcess, including the 2013/14 league title, but more recently some failure, as City lie fourth in the table battling for Champions League football next season.

With Pep Guardiola's imminent arrival, the 62 year old has said he would be open to staying in the Premier League, even if it was with a club without the financial backing his current club has. 

"It depends on the mentality of the manager," he said. "I always remember when I finished with Real Madrid, I had a lot of different options and I chose Malaga because the project was interesting.

"It doesn't matter which club you are going to, whether it's a big or a small team, it depends on the project of the club and what they want to develop at the club and the players you can bring to the club.

"There are a lot of interesting things here in England because all the clubs have money to have a good project, so surely a lot of managers will be interested in a lot of clubs."
