The Chilean national team has identified Manuel Pellegrini as its top choice to take on the role of head coach for the national team in preparation for the qualifying process for the 2030 World Cup. Is he leaving Betis?

As confirmed by the National Professional Football Association (ANFP), the leadership is in formal talks with the coach, who is under contract at Real Betis until June 2027 with an exit clause applicable from January.

Manuel Pellegrini's Release Clause and Real Betis' Stance

The coach remains in charge of Real Betis with a contract in place until June 30, 2027. However, the ANFP leadership is aware of a contractual stipulation allowing the coach to terminate his agreement with the club starting in January 2027 without penalty to take up the national team position.

On the other hand, the sports director of the Spanish club, Manu Fajardo, acknowledged on Onda Cero that there are no active negotiations for an immediate contract renewal with the coach.

ANFP Election Timeline and Interim Status in the Chilean team

Chile's national team manager, Felipe Correa, confirmed preliminary discussions with the coach's circle, stating that the final decision will be postponed until the new ANFP board is elected at the end of 2026. While the presidential vote in the South American organization is resolved, Nicolás Córdova will remain in charge as interim coach.

The leadership also has two secondary technical options in their agenda should negotiations with the coach not reach a resolution.

Feasibility of Pellegrini's Arrival

Chilean football executives are evaluating the salary structure needed to take on the coaching staff's contract from the first quarter of 2027. Annulling the exit clause in Spain would facilitate negotiations without requiring a transfer fee between institutions.

The organizational executives are confident that the prospect of leading towards the 2030 World Cup will influence the coach's decision to end his chapter in Europe. The new ANFP board will assume its functions after the elections scheduled for December 2026.

If the new board's support is confirmed, the Chilean national team will make a formal proposal to Manuel Pellegrini in January to become their new head coach.
