MANUEL PELLEGRINI wants to stay in the Premier League when he leaves Manchester City this summer.

| Manuel Pellegrini is ready for another challenge this summer |
Pellegrini is set to be replaced by Pep Guardiola at the Etihad.
The Bayern Munich boss will begin a three-year contract at City when his deal with the German side runs out.
And Pellegrini is on Chelsea's shortlist as Roman Abramovich looks to replace Guus Hiddink in the summer.
Hiddink is in interim charge following the sacking of Jose Mourinho in December.
And Pellegrini's agent admits he wants to stay in the Premier League and would consider offers from the big clubs - but insists he would look at other options as well.
Another possibility could be the Valencia job with Gary Neville only contracted until the summer and struggling at the Mestalla.
"[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.”
The 62-year-old is in his third season at City and remains in the chase for a quadruple.
And his agent claims he's ready for another big challenge when he leaves the club - despite a harrowing experience with Real Madrid, who sacked him after just one season after finishing second in La Liga.
"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.”
