Pellegrini agent won't rule out Napoli move

The agent of Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini won't rule out a move to Napoli. It's been claimed on Naples radio that a deal has already been done for the Chilean to replace Rafa Benitez.

"Manuel has another year on his contract, and he intends to respect it," Jesus Martinez told Radio Crc.

"I don't know, however, what the leadership's intentions are.

"Pellegrini has Italian roots, he's also been on holiday in Naples. He's a lover of language and culture. He greatly appreciates Italy and Neapolitan culture.

"You never know in football.

"Could he replace Benitez? Pellegrini does not allow me to talk about him in relation to a position at a club which already has a Coach under contract.

"We have to wait a few more months, then if [Napoli President Aurelio] De Laurentiis calls, we'll discuss it."
