Former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has attacked the club for failing to give him the backing he needed during his tenure. Pellegrini revealed the isolation he experienced at the Bernabeu in an interview with Cadena Ser radio station on Thursday, as he said: "I came here with high hopes and great pride to manage this team. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do what I wanted to do and I had differences from the beginning of the season..." "There were a lot of disagreements in the club. I asked for them to keep (Wesley) Sneijder and (Arjen) Robben, who were two very important players for me. I missed having a debate on sporting issues, with the coach included,'' he said. "As (former Real coach and current Spain boss) Vicente Del Bosque said, even the club show no respect for the position of the coach, and they don't give them the authority internally or externally. Florentino's project is extraordinary but I think he's got it wrong."
