The Chilean is being replaced by Pep Guardiola this summer but his agent insists the 62-year-old is "crazy" for the competition
Manuel Pellegrini is keen to join another Premier League club once he leaves Manchester City, according to the Chilean’s agent.
On Monday, City confirmed that the 62-year-old, who won the Premier League title in his first season in charge, will be replaced by Pep Guardiola this summer.
Pellegrini has been linked with a move to Chelsea, and although his agent insists no offer has been received, the former Real Madrid boss is keen to remain in England.
“He can listen to offers but it doesn’t have to be Manchester United or Chelsea. He will hear and analyse the proposals and then decide. He has no offer on the table,” Jesus Martinez told Chilean radio station Radio Bio Bio.
“The Premier League remains the most exciting for Manuel. He’s had three wonderful years and he’s crazy for that competition.”
Pellegrini has also been linked with Valencia and Martinez admits the City boss would also welcome a return to La Liga.
“He spent five or six years 40km [from Valencia] when he was at Villarreal. He lived in the city, has experienced the atmosphere and loves it,” said Martinez.
“Pellegrini is open to all sorts of challenges. He’s had major challenges such as Malaga, which was wonderful.
“We talk about projects, not whether something is beautiful or ugly, because who could say Real Madrid is not a beautiful club from the outside? But then we see it’s not so remarkable when it turns into a coach shredder.”
