Manuel Pellegrini has guided Manchester City to the English Premier League title in his first season with the club.
Pellegrini is a player's manager who avoids conflicts with other managers.
"There are different ways to win titles," said Pellegrini. “I choose this one, with attractive football. We have a style of play. We are always thinking to score goals. That, to me, has the same importance as winning the title.”
Five of the top six teams in the Premier League attacked (City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham), while Chelsea was the lone exception of counterattack.
“It was a pleasure to work with him,” Samir Nasri said Sunday. “Everybody put his ego to one side.”
