Manuel Pellegrini This Sunday, July 9, he completed three years at Real Betis Balompié, since then it is July 9, 2020 –in the middle of the pandemic- when it was announced that he had signed for three seasons with the Verdiblanco club, where he had already renewed for two more years in December 2021 and he did it again last week, until June 2026, before the start of the first preseason stage in front of the squad.
Pellegrini, in these three years, He led Betis in 148 official matches (and 21 friendlies, for a total of 169) split between LaLiga (114), Copa del Rey (15), Europa League (18) and the Spanish Super Cup (1). The balance is 73 wins, 36 draws and 39 losses. The Chilean coach is the first in the club’s history to qualify the team for three consecutive seasons in European competitions and in the top six, in addition to winning the Copa del Rey in 2022.
The Chilean coach at Real Betis has already surpassed the number of matches he managed at Málaga (151, including friends), and is close to reaching the number he managed at Manchester City (186), which he made Premier champions League, although there is still a long way to go to reach the 258 directed at Villarreal, a figure he will surpass if he completes the three-year contract currently remaining. The coach with the most official matches directed in the history of Real Betis is Lorenzo Serra Ferrerwith 263 games, a figure that is certain Pellegrini will lose if you fulfill your contract.
