Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini Registers Image Rights

Manchester City Manager Manuel Pellegrini has applied to register his image rights in Guernsey.

The Chilean, who joined the Barclay's Premier League club during the summer, made his application through Guernsey company Finsbury Image Rights. Managing Director Jose Luis Romanillos said he believed it was the most significant application made so far through the Guernsey Registry's Intellectual Property Office.

"This is what Guernsey image rights has been waiting for - he is a massive name. He was manager for Real Madrid, one of the biggest and wealthiest clubs in the world. We are delighted for Finsbury but we are also delighted for the team at the Guernsey Registry who have put so much time into the development of the legislation," he said.
