M. Pellegrini: To keep my job, a title is not necessary.

„Manchester City“ strategist Manuel Pellegrini insists that this season he will not chase trophies at any cost.

The Chilean's future at the club started to be discussed after the defeat to „Liverpool“, which prevented them from closing the gap on London's „Premier“ league leaders, „Chelsea“. „City“ is now five points behind the „aristocrats“ and has played one game less. Additionally, „City“ lost the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Nevertheless, Pellegrini is not afraid of losing his job.

„I don't feel pressure regarding the number of titles,“ said the coach. „I only feel it when I see my team playing worse than I want.“

„I will repeat myself, when I signed the contract, I was not obligated to win trophies every season or to win five in five years. The title is important, but not the most important thing.“
