Napoli could be the next destination for Manuel Pellegrini, according to his agent.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini would consider taking over at Napoli next season, according to his agent.

The Chilean's future at City is unclear and reports suggest that he may be sacked at the end of the season.

If so, agent Jesus Martinez has said that a move to Serie A could happen.

He told Radio CRC: "Manuel has another year on his contract, and he intends to respect it. I don't know, however, what the leadership's intentions are.

"Pellegrini has Italian roots, he's also been on holiday in Naples. He's a lover of language and culture. He greatly appreciates Italy and Neapolitan culture. You never know in football."

Pellegrini guided City to both the Premier League and the League Cup last season.
