Manuel Pellegrini: The Big Interview with Graham Hunter
We caught up with Chilean managerial legend Manuel Pellegrini in beautiful Seville and spoke about his Atlantic crossing to sample the different footballing styles that Italy, France and England had to offer. The English game wasn’t as primitive as some might claim - thanks to the innovating force of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal and the adaptations of Fergie at Manchester United. Also in part one, the importance of an open, enquiring, cultivated mind, and working with talents like Riquelme, Senna, Pires and Cazorla at Villareal.4
We also hear how during the South American phase of his managerial career the Chilean learned to control his temper and develop emotional intelligence - although a little dose of the hairdryer treatment doesn’t go amiss from time to time.
We learn how a clash of ideas with Real Madrid’s president caused a departure which led to three happy years at Malaga. And there’s great stuff about current club Real Betis - working with wing legend Joaquin and winning the Copa del Rey. Like veteran Joaquin, 69-year-old Manuel is incredibly demanding of himself to maintain peak condition; every day, he says, he treats as the first of his career.

'Riquelme just played to his own pace!' | Manuel Pellegrini on classic number 10s in modern football
zhlédnutí 921Před rokem
A tactical evolution in football has seen the usage of the false nine increase, and midfielders being asked to do more going both ways. With current formations and systems the way they are, is there still room for the classic number 10, like Francesco Totti, Michel Platini and a man whom Manuel Pellegrini had the pleasure to coach, Juan Roman Riquelme?

Joaquin has had a stellar career in Spain, starring for Real Betis, Valencia and Malaga.
