Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that he is set to begin talks with Manchester City over their vacant managerial position.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak on Friday confirmed he expects to announce the club's new manager within 10 days. He said: "We obviously want sustainable success for this club and (picking the manager) is absolutely the most important decision for a football club. "The type of person we would like running our football team is someone with great man-management capability and the ability to get the best out of the talent we have, get the best out of the youth we have and establish and continue a systematic approach from the youth team to the elite team and reserves. "We have a wonderful team running this process internally (to select a new manager) and are putting a very comprehensive process in place. "They have created a shortlist of managers who fit that criteria and we are pretty much done. We are very close. I expect to make an appointment probably in the next two weeks."
