Manchester City midfielder Fernando hopes manager Manuel Pellegrini keeps his job this summer.

Pellegrini is facing the chop at the Etihad in the wake of his side's poor season.

But Fernando said: "Manuel is an excellent manager. He gives us a lot of confidence, is a very calm manager and listens to us a lot which is a good way to work.

"He is also a very experienced manager - we have a lot to learn from him and he still has a lot to give."
