After this season reaches it’s end, Pellegrini will be replaced by Pep Guardiola, this announcement was made to the public earlier in the season a few months ago and Manuel Pellegrini believes that this announcement could had cost his squad the Premier League title as it might have distracted his players from concentrating in the English League.

“At the start of February there was news about the change of the manager, about players who will not continue here next season, about a lot of things that involved the minds of all the players. We had those defeats at home, but now we are stable again and very happy to finish playing the way we have in these last games. It’s not easy for the players when you read in newspapers all things that will happen next season all the players who will go out, all the players that will come in. It’s not easy for the players to focus their mind.’’ Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini told the media.

Manchester City were recently held to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United as they dropped points but even if Manuel Pellegrini and his squad had come out on top with the victory, at this time in the season it seems like the league title will be going to either Leicester City or Tottenham Hotspur.

Manuel Pellegrini wanted to end his last season as the manager of Manchester City on a high note by winning a major piece of silverware but the Premier League title is out of their reach however, they still do have the Champions League as Manchester City is still competing in the European tournament but have a big mountain to face as the English club has to face off with Real Madrid on April 26.
