The Manchester City boss has admitted his immediate future is not reliant on trophies, but says he would rather win a title and be fired than endure five barren years at the club.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has suggested success this season will have no bearing on his future at the Etihad Stadium, but says he would rather win the title and be sacked than stick around for five trophyless years.
Pep Guardiola is widely expected to take over from Pellegrini in the summer no matter how City performs on the pitch in the current campaign, leaving the Chilean to face questions about his future on a weekly basis.
