Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini will take charge of Manchester City next season, reports in the Spanish Press have suggested.
AS have claimed that the Chilean Coach will replace Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, with the Premier League club willing to pay the 59-year-old's €4m release clause.
It is also thought that Isco could follow his boss to the north-west.
Stories emerged last month that City's director of football Txiki Begiristain met with Jesus Martinez, Pellegrini's agent, in Madrid to discuss a possible move. The Andalusian club's Coach has been heavily linked with a move away from La Rosaleda recently, with Roma and Chelsea speculated as potential destinations.
