The Chilean says the Foxes deserve great credit for their exploits this season and also feels the English top flight is sn experience “no major coach should miss out on”


Manuel Pellegrini says Leicester City will not be able to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League long term because they do not have enough money.
Having narrowly escaped relegation last season, a dramatic turnaround has seen the Foxes move to the brink of the title, which they will claim if second-placed Tottenham fail to beat Chelsea on Monday.

However, Manchester City boss Pellegrini, who will be replaced by Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium next season, believes Leicester’s success may turn out to be a mere flash in the pan as he does not believe they have the financial muscle to continue challenging at the top.

“I do not think [Leicester being top] is a lesson. They are a very well-organised team with very few injuries,” Pellegrini said in an interview with El Mundo.

“They have great merit, but I do not think they will remain at the top for eight or 10 years. All big teams have money at their base.

“What Leicester have done, I think, is similar to what we did with Villarreal when we finished second [in La Liga in 2007-08].”

Pellegrini has said it all. Leicester can not retain the status as Liverpool, Man United or Chelsea does.
