(GSM) – Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini is unsure whether he will remain be at Real Madrid next season. The Chilean tactician has come under pressure following an early exit from the UEFA Champions League and shock defeat to minnows Alcorcon in the Copa del Rey.
Real are unlikely to win the Primera Division as they trail Barcelona by one point before the last round and current Inter manager Jose Mourinho has been heavily tipped to take the reins.
“All year, and especially in recent weeks, perhaps there hasn’t been a clear reply (from the club on my continuity),” Pellegrini told reporters.
“Amidst the uncertainty I have always had the support of the players.
“I don’t think Real speak behind the back of their coach, this isn’t their style.
“But I am not so innocent to believe that all the rumours are simply speculation by journalists.
“If, for whatever reason, the project doesn’t continue the person who comes in will have a difficult job. He will have to win more than 100 points in the league to do better than me.
“I know failing to win a title isn’t good but I don’t think the final decision will change much whether we win the league or not.”
