The Chilean engineer who built Villarreal into Champions League semi-finalists, set a points record at Real Madrid that still wasn't enough, then became the first non-European manager to win the Premier League - all while refusing to chase Galácticos glamour over balance.

About this person

Manuel Luis Pellegrini Ripamonti was born 16 September 1953 and moved to Europe in 2004 to manage Villarreal, where he delivered a Champions League semi-final in 2005-06 and a historic second-place La Liga finish in 2007-08. Real Madrid hired him for 2009-10; he amassed 96 points - a club record at the time - but lost the title to Barcelona by three and was dismissed after one season, later criticizing the Galácticos policy that blocked him from building the team he wanted. At Málaga from November 2010, he reached the Champions League quarter-finals in 2012-13, the only coach to take two different clubs that far in their debut seasons in the competition. Manchester City appointed him in June 2013; he won the League Cup and Premier League in his first season, the first manager from outside Europe to claim the English title, with City scoring 151 goals across all competitions - an English record. After taking City to their first Champions League semi-final in 2015-16, he was sacked by West Ham in December 2019 following a poor run, then took charge of Real Betis in July 2020.
