Punters Undecided Over Pellegrini
The former Malaga boss takes over from Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium and is evens to win a trophy in his first season at the club. His predecessor lost his job following a fruitless campaign last season, a repeat of that for Pellegrini's side is 8/11.
The Chilean joins City on a three-year contract in which he is 7/4 to still be at the club following that spell and 2/5 to leave before then.
Betfred spokesman John Hill :
"This is an appointment we have all expected for a while now. Punters are unsure at the moment how big of a coup this is for City as we have hardly been knocked over just yet for them for the league next season."
The 2011/12 champions are expected to splash the cash this summer. Isco is just 4/9 to follow his former boss from Malaga. Edison Cavani is another player that has been linked with the club - he is 3/1 to sign this summer - while Robert Lewandowski is 16/1 to move from Borussia Dortmund.
