Manuel Pellegrini had to dash home to pick up his passport
Pellegrini turned up at Manchester airport this afternoon for City's flight to Dusseldorf with the wrong passport – he holds South American and European documents.
He had to make quick taxi trip home to nearby Hale Barns to collect the right one.
It did not delay City's fight and when quizzed about the mistake, Pellegrini smiled as he said: "It was not important. I have two passports and I brought the wrong one."
It is Pellegrini's second gaffe in a matter of days – on Saturday he took the wrong exit after cutting short a press briefing and walked into a computer room at White Hart Lane.
