Valencia new coach: Mauricio Pellegrino

shoulda stuck with emery.

Another argentino :vagi:

I read somewhere Benitez wanted Pellegrino to be his successor at Liverpool back in the day and was teaching him many things but things didn't quite go as he planned.

:vagi:

thought you spelt Pellegrini wrong lmfao


So he has never actually been a coach before.......interesting

benitez in an interview with la taula:

"If the offer I had from Spain was Valencia, we wouldnt have been talking about Mauricio..."

on pellegrino

"He already showed leadership as a player, and I'm sure this will show. He has all the ingredients to do well. As a player, no doubting his quality. I brought him to Liverpool as a player, and he stayed as my assistant. I hold him in high regard. He has never managed, but as a player and coach he has shown his level and ability. Technically, tactically, in terms of knowledge, enthusiasm and in terms of dedication, he's ready."

it's gonna be interesting, if nothing else...

The age of the noob coaches is upon us

Poor mans Manuel Pellegrini

Did Valencia hired Perez as their president or what?

offical

good luck flaco...

Benitez pulling strings behind the scenes.

Lame. The least likely to join joined. My least favorte out of the candidates too.

I was hoping Valencia could have put the past behind them and bring back Rafa. Or find the fountain of youth and bring back Mendieta, Ayala, Baraja, Abelda, Canizares....

Valencia now interested in Joao Pereira from Sporting, worth 5m.

they might sign Siqueira (granada) when Alba is sold to Barca.

Bruno might arrive if Villarreal go down, but one of Topal or Tino will go

Diego Alves listening to offer

/AS

Perriera's cool. Means Miguel might leave finally.

Something tells me I won't be too pleased this Transfer season.

sacked

poor guy, not his fault Jonas decided to get a red card and fck Valencia up in their last game. their best start in CL for a good while as well

They should sign Benitez during the winter window

They shouldn't have let emery go.

i agree

Any rumors on who will take over?

ernesto valverde
im pretty familiar with the guy, he coached olympiakos 2 seperate times

he is actually pretty good, i think he will do well at valencia till the end of the season

Never could Defend. Thank god it's over.

Your CL games have been pretty great tho. And besides he had nearly a whole new team to work with even his name sake had difficulties with that at Madrid. I think he should have been allowed to stay at least until the end of the season. i can understand if Valencia were out of CL/Copa/top four but they are neither at the moment. They have a chance of finishing first in CL, have gone through in Copa and we all know how fast things can turn in LaLiga table bar the top 2/3. Llolrente being a dipstick here imho

Funniest thing is that i heard Valverde is only staying for 6 months because he has been promised to coach Bilbao next season He is basque and dreams of coaching Bilbao. If it's true, dat management
