Manuel Pellegrini set for Chelsea move?


Representatives of Chelsea and Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini met this week in London to discuss the possibility of the Chilean manager taking over the Blues' hotseat at the end of the season.

Interim manager Rafa Benitez is set to step down at the end of the year, leaving the door open for the former Villarreal manager Pellegrini to come in.


Chelsea are set to offer the coach a three year contract at Stamford Bridge, and the full backing of club owner Roman Abramovich, who is said to be distraught that his side have this season failed to secure any silverware.
