MANCHESTER, England, June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Manchester City remain second favourites at 11/5 with Betfred for the 2013/14 Premier League behind rivals Manchester United despite the appointment of their new manager Manuel Pellegrini.
The former Malaga boss takes over from Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium and is evens to win a trophy in his first season at the club. His predecessor lost his job following a fruitless campaign last season, a repeat of that for Pellegrini's side is 8/11.
The Chilean joins City on a three-year contract in which he is 7/4 to still be at the club following that spell and 2/5 to leave before then.
Betfred spokesman John Hill:
"This is an appointment we have all expected for a while now. Punters are unsure at the moment how big of a coup this is for City as we have hardly been knocked over just yet for them for the league next season."
The 2011/12 champions are expected to splash the cash this summer. Isco is just 4/9 to follow his former boss from Malaga. Edison Cavani is another player that has been linked with the club - he is 3/1 to sign this summer - while Robert Lewandowski is 16/1 to move from Borussia Dortmund.
