Manchester Derby: 'Everyone will value work Pellegrini did' says Martin Demichelis

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's first season in English football shows how his predecessor Manuel Pellegrini was under-estimated, says former City defender Martin Demichelis, now back at Malaga.

Guardiola appears set to finish a season without a trophy for the first time in his managerial career.

"As time goes on everyone will value the work that Manuel Pellegrini did.

"As a foreign coach in his first season in the Premier League to win the title, naturally made him an important reference," Demichelis, who also played under Pellegrini at River Plate and Malaga, told the World Football Show.
