– Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini took charge of his final game in charge of the club on Sunday
– Iheanacho praises Pellegrini
According to Kelechi Iheanacho, the striker of Manchester City, he is not happy to see manager Manuel Pellegrini leave the club.
Manchester City scrapped into next season’s Champions League with a draw at Swansea City to secure fourth place in the Premier League because of a vastly superior goal difference to United, even if they win their postponed match against Bournemouth.
Iheanacho gave City an early lead, before Andre Ayew’s 12th EPL goal this term via a deflected free-kick in first-half stoppage time restored parity.
It would be recalled that Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola will replace Pellgrini on July 1.
However the Nigerian star, who scored 14 amazing goals this season, said: “I am not quite happy that he is going, but this is the football world and anything can happen. I just wish him good luck wherever he goes, and will be praying for him and hope to see the future.”
Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola has been appointed as the new manager at Manchester City for next season on a three year deal.

Iheanacho stressed: “He is a special manager for me and has done great things in my life – he brought me into the first team, introducing me to work with the squad right from pre-season last year. I am happy for him, for everything he achieved with this team, and happy that he made me a part of it. I won’t forget him, no matter where he goes.”
“He is popular with the players – he makes people happy when they work with him because he likes to play football,” the player added.
Iheanacho is also hopeful of getting even better next season: “I have been playing and scoring goals this season, so it has been a huge difference to what happened to me last season. But next season I hope to be much better, and score more goals to help the team succeed in all the competitions.”
Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mirror, Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho in talks over a new contract.
The source reports that Manchester City striker demands a new contract worth £150,000-a-week as the 19-year-old has out-scored £49 million signing Raheem Sterling this season and feels his performances have earned him a significant pay-rise.
