Career

Mauricio Pellegrino can look back on a successful and moving career as a professional footballer. After winning title after title with his hometown club Vélez Sársfield for 8 years , he moved abroad in 1998, more precisely to Spain, to the big FC Barcelona . In his first year in Europe he was able to convince and win the championship with the Catalans. Thanks to his class, he had a lot of interested parties, so he switched to Valencia CF and so began his most successful period. Although he lost the final of the Champions League with his new club in 2000 against Real Madrid and in 2001 against FC Bayern Munich , he was able to win the Spanish championship in 2002 and 2004 and the UEFA Cup in 2004 . In 2005 he followed his former coach Rafael Benítez to Liverpool , but was not happy there and ended his football career in Spain at Deportivo Alavés .

In 1997 he made three appearances in the national jersey of the Albiceleste .

At the end of June 2008, Pellegrino was appointed assistant coach at Liverpool FC by Rafael Benítez. Two years later, Pellegrino followed the Spaniard to his engagement at Inter Milan and worked again as an assistant coach.

On May 8, 2012, Valencia CF announced that Pellegrino would be the new coach of the first team for the 2012/13 season . Pellegrino signed a two-year contract until June 30, 2014, succeeding Unai Emery , whose expiring contract was not renewed. Due to unsuccessfulness, Pellegrino was released in early December 2012 after a 5-2 home defeat by Real Sociedad . On June 6, 2015, he signed a one-year contract as the trainer of CA Independiente .

In June 2017 he became the coach of Southampton FC , where he was fired in the same season in March 2018.
