City appoint Pellegrini

Manchester City on Friday said they had appointed Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini to take over from Roberto Mancini, earmarking him as the man to bring long-term success to the English Premier League club.
The confirmation of his appointment came after Pellegrini said he had a verbal agreement to move to northwest England, after nine years in charge at Spanish club Malaga.
A statement on the club's website mcfc.co.uk said the 59-year-old Chilean had joined on a three-year contract and would take up his role from June 24.
"I am delighted to accept this hugely exciting opportunity," Pellegrini said.
"The club has a clear vision for success both on and off the pitch and I am committed to making a significant contribution.
"Everything is in place for Manchester City to continue to be successful and I am excited to be able to work with such a talented squad, the executive team and the board to deliver for fans who are renowned for their steadfast support."
Manchester City won their first league title since 1968 in 2011/12 but although they finished runners-up last season to rivals Manchester United, the campaign was viewed as a disappointment.
