Outgoing Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to continue working in the Premier League when he leaves the Etihad this summer - but would be open to a return to La Liga with Valencia, according to his agent.

The Chilean revealed on Monday that he will leave City at the end of the season, with the club confirming moments later that they had agreed a deal to bring Pep Guardiola to the club as his replacement.

And it seems Pellegrini wants to continue managing in England.

“[Manuel] can listen to offers but it doesn’t have to be Manchester United or Chelsea. He will hear and analyse the proposals and then decide. There’s no offer on the table,” Jesus Martinez told Chilean radio.

“He spent five or six years 40km [from Valencia] when he was at Villarreal. He lived in the city, has experienced the atmosphere and loves it.

“The Premier League remains the most exciting for Manuel. He’s had three wonderful years and he’s crazy for that competition.”

Pellegrini's City remain on course to win four trophies this season.

They have booked their place in this month's League Cup final, are in the fifth round of the FA Cup and sit second in the Premier League table, three points off top spot.

With a winnable last-16 tie in the Champions League against Dynamo Kiev already secured, this could turn out to be his most successful season at the club.

Martinez believes his client is prepared to consider a wide range of offers when he leaves City.

“Pellegrini is open to all sorts of challenges,” he said. “He’s had major challenges such as Malaga, which was wonderful. We talk about projects, not whether something is beautiful or ugly - because who could say Real Madrid is not a beautiful club from the outside.

“But then we see it’s not so remarkable when it turns into a coach shredder.”
