In an interview broadcast on Onda Cero , Antony expressed his admiration for coach Pellegrini: “He is a great coach. Everyone knows his remarkable career. I am very happy to work with him, not only because of the way he treated me but also the way he treated all the players. The renewal is a matter between the club and Pellegrini, but personally I always wanted to stay with him longer.”

Antony's arrival at Betis is also linked to the Chilean tactician's mark. Earlier this year, Pellegrini himself persuaded Antony to join Betis on loan, helping the player regain his form in the second half of the 2024/25 season.

Antony also admitted that Pellegrini was an important reason why he chose to return to Betis: "Everyday life in this great team makes everyone happy. I want to bring a title to Betis," the Brazilian player shared.

At the age of 25, Antony has had a difficult time and has been criticized a lot in England. But at Betis, he is gradually regaining confidence and love. Coach Pellegrini is also the one who contributed to helping Antony adapt quickly and shine.

MU accepted to let Antony leave for 25 million euros last summer. Despite suffering a heavy loss on this deal, the "Red Devils" can still hope to make a profit if the Brazilian winger shines in La Liga.

Antony shined on the day Man Utd were defeated. In the early morning of February 17, Antony scored a beautiful goal in Betis' 3-0 win over Sociedad, in round 24 of La Liga.
