Manuel Pellegrini, the manager of Real Betis Balompié, reached his 100th La Liga win in charge of the Verdiblancos. The milestone arrived this weekend at Mestalla with a 0-1 victory over Valencia, courtesy of a goal from Pablo García, and places Betis second in the table with a perfect six points from two games.
The club confirmed this historic achievement which highlights the continuity of the project. Pellegrini is in his seventh consecutive season on the Betis bench, having arrived in the summer of 2020. His first league win came on September 13, 2020, at Mendizorroza, also 0-1 with a stoppage-time goal from Tello.
What is Pellegrini's record at Betis?
The Chilean coach has overseen 230 official LaLiga EA Sports matches for Real Betis. His exact record is 100 wins, 69 draws, and 61 losses. This gives him a win percentage of 43.5%, the highest in the club's history in the top flight.
The data, verified by analyst Pedro Martín (@pedritonumeros), shows the superiority of his tenure. The previous manager with the most wins was Lorenzo Serra Ferrer, who achieved 78 in 198 matches, for a 39.4% success rate. Ferenc Szusza managed 46 victories in the same number of games, at 35.4%.
What does this milestone mean for the club?
Pellegrini thus becomes the first Real Betis manager to reach one hundred victories in league competition. This record underscores the stability and competitive level maintained throughout his long spell. His arrival marked a turning point for the entity, which now aims to maintain its strong start to the season.
