Manuel for the job: Pellegrini must be top of Chelseaas list (Picture: Reuters) Jose Mourinho has been the man most clearly connected with the Chelsea hotseat lately but a brand new man has emerged as a contender to challenge him lately. Is Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini an improved fit for the job? As they are with other executives who've been touted as possible Chelsea managers previously and those that know the Chilean may be defer by the season he suffered as Real Madrid director fans in britain may perhaps not be as familiar with Pellegrini. But, thatas inadequate to judge him on. In fact, Pellegrini did pretty well in the Spanish capital despite the circus that has been going on around him. He was qualified by the press fairly in the beginning and even faced criticism from Real officials, while these were selling the likes of Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder against his wishes. His frustrations were revealed by pellegrini at not being able to create a healthy group after head left, and he once asked what was the point of experiencing the 10 most readily useful guitarists if there was no-one to play the violin in his band. Regardless he was forced to have on with it and, although he finished second in La Liga, he did so with a 96 factors behind Barcelona on 99. Thatas no shame. Before Pellegrini was offered the managerial position in the Spanish capital he was working miracles for Villarreal, have been the last team to split Real Madrid and Barcelona in the group if they completed second a' in front of Frank Rijkaardas Barca a' during the 2007/08 period. Could he function as man to construct Chelseaas next title-challenging squad? The Yellow Submarine was also guided by him in to the Champions League semi-finals in 2006 where they were knocked out by the Catalan giants, and neither of these are mean feats as Villarreal is a small area that has around half the people of Blackburn. He has worked similar secret at a third Spanish membership in Malaga. The Primera Liga membership have been suffering a tumultuous period inside their history as they experience a Uefa bar from European competition and Pellegrini has been surrounded by chaos, suffering the loses of key people such as for example Santi Cazorla and Jose Salomon Rondon. Irrespective of this, his part continue to be difficult for a top four position in the dining table (currently fifth) and they controversially missed from an invest the Champions League last four adhering to a interesting match against Dortmund. Now it is assumed he's worked his way into Roman Abramovichas thinking at Chelsea and the temptation to right the wrongs of his brief Real Madrid job could be enough to convince him to lobby hard for the task. He looks lots of competition from Mourinho, but his preference for approaching play could give him the edge. Heas also a highly intelligent man who speaks fluent English and keeps a civil engineering degree. May he be the person to construct Chelseaas next title-challenging squad?
