Real Betis has already taken the first steps to extend Manuel Pellegrini's contract beyond its current expiration in June 2026. The idea the Betis board is clear: they want to ensure the continuity of the Chilean coach for at least two additional seasons, which would keep him at the Betis helm until 2028.
Since his arrival in the summer of 2020, Pellegrini has established himself as a key figure in the club's sporting growth. His impact has been immediate and sustained: he has secured Betis' qualification for European competitions in five consecutive occasions and won the Copa del Rey in 2022, a milestone that elevated his status to idol in Heliópolis.

At almost 72 years old, the coach feels fully integrated into the Betis project and maintains his desire to compete at the highest level. However, as reported by the AS newspaper, his future is not without uncertainties, as he has always expressed his wish to coach the Chile national team before retiring, although he currently does not see a solid enough project there.
Over the years, proposals have not been lacking from other parts of the world, especially from Saudi Arabia and South America, but Pellegrini has chosen the stability and ambition of Betis. Now, the club wants to reward that loyalty with an offer that keeps him leading the project until 2028. The ball is in the Engineer's court.
