Sevilla have burned through five managers in two seasons, seen their past president call the current one (who is his SON!) The Europa League holders are relegated to LaLiga relegation after being unable to bring in quality to an ageing squad

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 15, 2024
PETE JENSON IN SPAIN: The bigger they grow, the harder they fall. Sevilla has won seven Europa Leagues, but this May's resounding thud as they reached Europe's second class: the stage on which they have shone time and again over the past 20 years. Five managers in two seasons, infighting between the former and current president, who also happen to be father and son, and missing in the transfer market have all contributed to the current crisis, which has resulted in them finishing fourth from fourth place in LaLiga with just three wins all season. For the first time in Spanish football, they are in the fourth force. To get to that point, it's important to go back a few seasons. In a short period of time, there have been too many wrong turns in too short a span of time.

It's now four years since David Moyes returned to West Ham with a tweet mockery post. At his unveiling, he told us, 'I do what I do.' 'I win.' Moyes wins, as it turns out. When West Ham's Premier League status seemed so hazy under Manuel Pellegrini, he won them. In the campaigns that followed, he earned them their sixth and seventh positions. He has won them three seasons in a row. He dominated them in the Europa Conference League, their first trophy since 1980.

Jude Bellingham scores YET AGAIN to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's record, but his side loses points in 1-1 draw against Manuel Pellegrini's Betis... but even with a game goal

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 9, 2023
PETER JENSON IN SPAIN: Jude Bellingham made it 16 goals in 18 games in all competitions, but it wasn't enough to hold Real Madrid down two points at Manuel Pellegrini's Betis. Madrid had to wait until minute 53 to open the scoring, and when they did, Bellingham chitrolled Betis' defence, shifting the play from start to finish but not to last.

SIMON JORDAN: Man United must be more like Man City, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe's plan would save the birds from being saviour

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 29, 2023
SIMON JORDAN: If Jim Ratcliffe lands at Manchester United, he may do worse than take inspiration from Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has brought the club beyond recognition. They've gone from a championship-winning side under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini to a team that defy conventional wisdom. Their triumph hasn't purely came from Guardiola, but it has come from the team's ability to have a strong vision and reach the target the club set for. United's needs to think a bit more like City, ironically.

Micah Richards opens up on his feisty fallout with Manuel Pellegrini - as he reveals how the ex-Man City boss blanked him for THREE weeks until he apologised for 'effing and jeffing'

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 2, 2023
When the manager dropped him in a cup match and he was suspended from the squad until he apologised, the former Manchester City defender called it a "disgrace."

Micah Richards reveals how he downed TEN drinks from a minibar the night before a Man City game - and tried to talk his way out of playing with Manuel Pellegrini after admitting boozing to the doctor

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 23, 2023
Micah Richards has confessed to downing ten drinks the night before a game at Manchester City. Richards rode through City's academy before making his way into the team's first team when he lifted the Premier League and FA Cup. However, he suffered with a string of injuries in the later stages of his career, causing him to miss matches regularly. He has now started his recovery from one layoff where he was not supposed to play the next day and decided to drink the majority of the alcohol at the team's hotel.

Following his release, Man United's Europa League champion Bryant talks with Real Betis as he steps up to his new club... But Manuel Pellegrini's side faces Premier League newboys Sheffield United and Luton

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 7, 2023
Both the Blades and Premier League debutants Luton have failed to make their way to the top of the league this season, with both the Blades and Premier League debutants struggling to make their promotion to the top-flight this season, with both scoring a total of 16 goals this season. As a result, they may be keen to patch up any holes in their still-leaking defences, with free agents acting as the first line of reinforcement now that the transfer deadline has passed. However, the player is now talking about a transfer to LaLiga with Betis, who are coached by former Manchester City and West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini.

After the deadline day, a goalkeeper with more than 500 appearances, one of the Premier League's best-ever players, and a World Cup champion — the players were still free agents

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 3, 2023
For those that are involved in the transfer process, it could be a wild ride, but for those who are not on the track, it may be even more sobering. Not everybody, of course, will be thrust into the spotlight thanks to jaw-dropping, multi-million-pound transfers, with a number of players still free agents and therefore available for absolutely nothing even after the summer window was closed. In fact, there are veteran internationals with hundreds of appearances for club and country as well as household names who have fallen off the radar in recent years, many of whom have been buried in the bargain binge, possibly plotting their routes back to the sport. If you were released by your previous clubs before the end of the season, clubs around the world will be able to sign unattached players after the deadline. This is the case for the majority of the players on the market, offering them a glimmer of hope. And so, Mail Sport looks at ten of the best players looking for a new home as prospective suitors circle and weigh up these cost-effective alternatives.

With the club's turbulence over a lack of signings, West Ham's bubble may have burst an ALREADY with European glory a distant memory

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 4, 2023
ROB DRAPER: Jarrod Bowen's appearance at the gala dinner on Thursday night in honor of West Ham's Europa Conference League winners was a timely reminder. Not only that West Ham won their highest moment since 1980 in Prague just 60 days ago, but that Bowen was given instant club legend status for the 90th minute. But also in the context of the last few years. Bowen talked about joining the club in January 2020 and being thrust into a relegation war, their Premier League status in jeopardy, with manager David Moyes being brought in to salvage the season after Manuel Pellegrini had been fired. Bowen reflected on their journey since sixth, seventh, and 14th in the Premier League, the club's third straight in Europe, something they had never done before.

He has been rated as a coach having worked under both Guardiola and Manuel Pellegrini, the former City and West Ham manager. Since firing Brendan Rodgers on April 2, Leicester had been without a permanent manager since his untiring tenure, with interim manager Dean Smith unable to keep the club in the Premier League during his eight-game tenure. Smith and Scott Parker were among the candidates considered by the Foxes to lead the club back to the top flight, but Maresca's extensive knowledge of Leicester's senior squad and younger players was one of the contributing factors that led to the decision his way.

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 3, 2023
JOE BERNSTEIN: Only one player in Saturday's Champions League final will be recognized by both groups of supporters in Istanbul. Edin Dzeko, who is 37 years old, is still pivotal to Inter Milan's hopes of causing an upset against Manchester City, a team where he has a lot of affection after assisting them in their first two Premier League titles. Managing Manuel Pellegrini said, 'It wasn't for the money but to give others the chance when Dzeko returned to Roma in 2015, they felt he was the right age to leave in order to give younger strikers like Kelechi Iheanacho the opportunity.' And eight years later, the Bosnian is set to play in the world's biggest club game in what could be his last match for the Nerazzurri as he enters the season.

PETE JENSON: The Costa del Sol team is languishing in the relegation zone, with only two games to save themselves and yet they have the highest average attendance in their league.

Malaga lost their first leg in 2013 0-0 and should have advanced to the semi-finals but it wasn't until two offside goals in injury time that it was more 3-2 on aggregate.
