The AP has reported that Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini looks set to take over at Real Madrid.
Pellegrini transformed Villarreal since arriving from River Plate in 2004. The Chilean's fluid style of attacking football -- often compared to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal -- got Villarreal into the Champions League twice during his five-years in charge, including a run to the semifinals in 2006. Villarreal finished fifth in La Liga this season.

This move reminds of Rafa Benitez, who transformed his career with La Liga success at Valencia, and then moved on to Liverpool.
