Man City boss Pellegrini won't prioritise trophies

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini won't prioritise trophies.

City kickoff their season today against Arsenal in the Community Shield.

Pellegrini said: "I don't have a target to win five titles.

"Every time I play a competition, I want to win it.

"But that thing that we have to win five titles in five years - for me it is not important."

Pellegrini was keen to emphasise the point that his side will be doing their utmost to claim silverware at every opportunity.

Asked about his priorities for the season, the Chilean said: "For this year, our target is exactly the same as last year.

"We will play in the four competitions we must play in and we will try to continue in all competitions as far as we can. Exactly the same as last year.

"We continue trying to win the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Capital One Cup and the Champions League, and we will see during the season what we can do."
