Manuel Pellegrini could be living his last months as the coach of Real Betis. His contract expires in June, and the lack of progress in the renewal fuels speculations.

Pellegrini, known as "The Engineer," has made his mark in Heliópolis. With several European qualifications and a Copa del Rey, he has won the affection of the green-and-white fans.

However, in Chile, his name is gaining strength again. He is mentioned as a serious candidate to lead the national team if he decides to leave Seville. It reads "Betis or Chile."

Manuel Pellegrini and signs of a possible end of an era

In recent weeks, Manuel Pellegrini and Real Betis' management, questioned about the coach's renewal, have not wanted to talk about the subject.

Real Betis does not shut the door to his continuity. But there is also no firm progress. Negotiations remain pending, and no one confirms institutional hurry.

Pellegrini himself has stated that for now, he prefers to focus on this season: “We look at the present; then the future will be clarified, whether in Betis, Chile, or another destination.”

In Heliópolis, the idea of the end of a cycle has also been raised. Former player Andrés Guardado sees it as a natural outcome if an agreement is not reached.

Chile's national team, a destination gaining strength

In Chile, there is speculation that Pellegrini could take over the coaching reins of the national team once his contract with Betis ends. The ANFP has considered him in several reports as a weighty option.

Arturo Salah, a leader close to Chilean football, has pointed out that Pellegrini fits the profile that the national team needs for a renewal.

The Chilean coach, for his part, has not ruled anything out. In recent statements, he did not close the door to the national team. “I will see what happens,” he commented at a press conference.

Betis vs. Chile: a decision with many facets

For Pellegrini, staying would mean leading a project already familiar at Betis. If he leaves, he would take on an emotional and symbolic challenge at the helm of his country's national team.

Betis would have to be open to reshaping its squad, while in Chile, enthusiasm would be boosted with a well-established coach with experience.

The dilemma is not only sports-related but also personal. Pellegrini has reiterated that he trains “where he is passionate” and that his decision will be made with conviction, not due to external pressure.

Should he ultimately opt for the national team, his legacy at Betis will be forever sealed. If he wishes to continue in Andalusia, clear conditions will need to be negotiated with the Betis board.

Whatever his decision, Manuel Pellegrini is facing one of the most significant turning points in his career. Between Seville and Santiago, the edge of the road will be his next stop.
