Manuel Pellegrini has reached a historic milestone at Real Betis

Manuel Pellegrini has reached a historic milestone at Real Betis, becoming the first manager in the club’s history to record 100 Liga victories. The landmark arrived with a 1‑0 win away to Valencia, decided by Pablo García’s late strike in the 83rd minute. The result gave Betis their second straight league victory, lifting them to six points and keeping them in the early top positions.

Pellegrini, appointed in 2020, has overseen a period of stability and sustained competitiveness, guiding Betis regularly into European competitions. His tenure, initially expected to end in 2023, has been extended thanks to consistent results. Across 230 league matches, he has achieved a win rate of 43.47%, alongside 69 draws and 61 defeats.

At 72, the “Engineer” shows no signs of slowing down. His 100th Liga win is more than a statistic: it marks a unique achievement no previous Betis coach had ever reached.
