I will retire if no interesting job offers - Pellegrini

Reuters: Former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini would consider retiring from management if he does not get any exciting offers.

The 62-year-old, who guided City to their first Champions League semi-final this season, has been linked with the vacant managerial position at Everton.

“If I don’t have a really interesting option I will stop until I find one,” Pellegrini told the Guardian.

“If I have to stop (completely), I will stop. It can be now, (until) December, one year or forever. Of course, I would miss it. The challenge keeps me alive.”

The Chilean confirmed his departure from the Etihad in a news conference in February and the club immediately announced the appointment of former Barcelona manager Guardiola as his successor.

Pellegrini said it was his choice to make the decision public.

“Yes, it was my decision,” he added.
