"PELE' GRINNI! Manchester City misspell Manuel Pellegrini’s name as they unveil him as new boss

 As Manuel Pellegrini was finally confirmed as Manchester City's new boss, the club website made an unfortunate blunder by misspelling his name.



The Chilean was dubbed online as Manuel Pelligrini in a feature on his backroom staff, and Twitter was immediately lit up with people sharing and spreading the mistake.

"Funny to see Manchester City spell Pellegrini's name wrong on their website," observed Irish football journalist Kevin Palmer, "As if they haven't known he was coming for the last six weeks!"

City swiftly corrected the mistake, but some wondered whether Pep Guardiola would have got the same treatment had he been appointed as manager.

Pellegrini can certainly expect stiffer challenges ahead than the club simply spelling his name correctly.
