Liverpool hold talks with former Real Madrid man

It has been reported today that the former Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini has held talks with Liverpool officials.

Pellegrini was recently sacked by Real Madrid after failing to bring silverware to the Bernabeu in his first season at the club and has since been replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Following the departure of Rafael Benitez from Anfield, Liverpool are currently searching for the right man to replace the Spaniard but it would appear as though they may be closing in on their man.

Roy Hodgson has been strongly linked with the hot seat at Liverpool. However, the Fulham manager has repeatedly ruled himself out of the running to take the reins at the Merseyside club.

Personally, I have my doubts about Pellegrini. Last season, he failed to win anything with a side which included the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso and Kaka so how he could win something with a side who have a serious lack of quality players, I really don’t know.

I’m keen to hear what you have to say on this one. Feel free to leave your comments below.
