Manuel Pellegrini was spotted in Ireland this weekend.

The Manchester City manager took advantage of the international break to spend some time in Cork, rather than in Dublin at the 1916 Rising commemoration military parade like most other tourists in the country for the Easter weekend. Pellegrini is set to be replaced as City manager by Pep Guardiola in the summer, which led to some fans speculating on whether the Chilean could be in line to take over one of the Rebel County's League of Ireland teams. Although Cobh Ramblers were quick to deny any suggestions they were set to appoint the 62 year old. https://twitter.com/CobhRamblersFC/status/714107968820744192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw However, if either Cork City or Cobh Ramblers are bought by an oil rich state in the next few months, who knows? Manuel seems to like the place and was kind enough to pose for some pictures. https://twitter.com/StaffordJimmy/status/714145510102331392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Shankslives4fr/status/714096237088280578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
