- City boss Pellegrini checks out local property - Kilkenny People 2016
One of the highest paid sports coaches in the world visited Kilkenny city over the Easter weekend.
Manuel Pellegrini, manager of the Manchester city soccer club was in Kilkenny last weekend on a flying visit after being invited over by a close friend. He also visited Cork
However, the 63-year-old was so taken with the city that he may be now on the look-out for a holiday home in the Marble city.
Pellegrini who looked relaxed during his stay, chatted amicably with staff at the four star Pembroke hotel, Patrick Street where he stayed.
He told one resident of Patrick Street that he would be very interested in a holiday home in the city but had no immediate plans to do so.
He is leaving the Manchester club at the end of the current season in May, despite having led the Blues to the English Premiership title last year.
He is understood to have secured a severance package of up to £8 million.
And while his name has been linked to a number of clubs across Europe for next season, he spent a lot of time checking out properties in the city, and in particular, Ed Donohoe's premises, just a few yards up from the Pembroke.
Mr Pellegrini was a well known soccer player in his day and before going to Manchester city, was in charge of a number of Spanish clubs, including Real Madrid.
- Pembroke Kilkenny Receives EFQM Award - FFT 2015
Kilkenny’s Pembroke Hotel is celebrating becoming the South East’s only hotel to be awarded with the prestigious European Business Excellence Accreditation from the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM).
One of Europe’s most rigorous measurements of business performance, the Pembroke Hotel received the EFQM 4 Star Excellence Award in its first application for accreditation. The awards ceremony in the Crown Plaza Hotel, Dublin recognised the achievements of Ireland’s best-managed organisations with just 29 organisations throughout Ireland receiving the accreditation.
General Manager, Paul Broderick said that such recognition is great encouragement for the team. “We are a passionate team and over the years we have placed a lot of emphasis on training and providing a great customer service. It is fantastic to see the team’s dedication and hard work being recognised and we are very proud of this award.”
The benefits for the business are clear as he commented: “In practical terms an internationally recognized award is a major advantage in our overseas marketing as we pursue new markets”.
