Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini to be sacked very soon

If rumours are to be believed, Manchester City coach Robert Mancini may well be on his way out within the next forty-eight hours itself. According to a report in The Independent, the club’s Abu Dhabi-based owners have started to believe for quite a long time now that Mancini hasn’t been able to capitalise on the massive £ One billion investment pumped into the ranks of the club.

The club’s chief executive Ferran Soriano wants a European football model in which a chief coach will be directly answerable to Txiki Begiristain, the sporting director of the club. The name doing the rounds to replace Mancini is that of former Villareal manager, Manuel Pellegrini.

Mancini, however, has vehemently denied all such reports, terming them as ‘rubbish’.
