Pellegrini has been named new Massive's manager.

On the cards for weeks, but it seems like a strange 'un to me.

Makes sense to me. Did great at Villareal, got the (at the time) record points total Madrid had ever had, only to be beaten by THAT Barca team, arguably at their best, to the title. Went to Malaga and did well there, laterly under troubling financial circumstances. Is also loved by, and, I'd bet my bottom dollar, will be followed by, Isco, the latest Spanish sensation - next Iniesta next Mata next Silva.

People keep saying he hasn't won owt, but he got the equivalent of us to a Champs League semi, and would have won the League with Madrid at basically any other point in history. He'll be better than the last twonk anyway, I reckon.

Agreed. Good manager with 25 years in the game. Speaks solid English. Would have done alot more with Madrid if given the chance. Said when he left that he wished he had chance to build a team instead of the club buying and selling around him.
