Manuel Pellegrini has suggested that he could be appointed as Manchester City's manager next week.

The Chilean coach, who will oversee his final match for Malaga against Barcelona this weekend, has been widely tipped to take charge of the former Premier League champions.

When asked by Sky Sports News if he had agreed a deal with the North-West outfit, Pellegrini said: "Not yet. Next Monday we'll see where I go."

The managerial job was left open when Roberto Mancini was sacked by City following the side's FA Cup final defeat to Wigan Athletic.
