Ass: Only one year left in the contract, Pellegrini will discuss contract renewal with Betis

According to the Spanish media "As", Pellegrini will discuss contract renewal with Betis.

Betis will start pre-season training this Tuesday, undergo a physical examination, and set off for the Algarve, Portugal on Wednesday for his first training camp this summer. Pellegrini will take over the team for the sixth season in a row, almost Betis's coaching seat record and is close to surpassing Hungarian Ferenc Sussa, who served at Betis from 1971 to 1976.

Pellegrini's contract has only last year left. Pellegrini has previously had a longer contract period. In early 2021, when the contract is one and a half years left, he will promise to extend it until 2025. In July 2023, the contract was extended to 2026. There have been contacts in recent weeks to renew Pellegrini, but no agreement has been reached so far. New talks are expected during July.

Pellegrini's outstanding coaching at Betis has led to many invitations recently, mainly from the Saudi League. This summer, generous offers from Saudi Arabia are likely to appear again. In an interview, Pellegrini did not rule out the possibility of going to Saudi Arabia in the future.

At the same time, the possibility of taking over the Chilean national team always exists, which is one of the challenges Pellegrini hopes to face before retirement. He will turn 72 in September, but he still has the energy to continue coaching. Chile is experiencing one of the worst periods in its history and is looking for a new coach after Gareca resigned in early June. But Pellegrini wants to take over a project with foundation and future, which is something the Chilean national team cannot guarantee to him at the moment.
