Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini: 'I have the backing of the dressing room'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists that he has the backing of his players.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that his players are fully behind him, despite rumours surrounding his future at the Etihad Stadium.

Widespread reports have suggested that the Chilean coach will be replaced in the summer due to his failure to retain the Premier League title.

The North-West outfit also struggled to put on a positive campaign in the Champions League and fell in the domestic cup competitions.

City will end the season without a trophy, but Pellegrini has insisted that his players fully support him.

"I feel [the support] every day because I work with all the players every day," Pellegrini told reporters in today's press conference.

"The players, the managers, the owners, the fans, we are not happy with what we did, but I think we are working in the right way and we must arrange some things to try to win the title again next season."

City are 13 points behind leaders Chelsea with four games left to go.
