Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has claimed that CEO Ferran Soriano was the main reason behind his sacking at the club.
Mancini was sacked at the end of last season and the Italian is still furious over the way he was shown the way out of Etihad stadium.
“Soriano?” For him I was too big within the club. A manager in full control, loved by the fans still today,” he said.

“He judged a person and a context without knowing anything about the people he should have dealt with.
Mancini is quoted by Sky Sports as saying: “I never thought of him as an interesting person from a football perspective. We never spoke the same language. And I’m not talking about Italian, Spanish or English.
“His past at Barcelona? I think he was coming from an airline. I’ve been in football since I was 13 and I had never heard anything about Soriano.
“He arrived in England with his manager role and I saw that he loves to speak, to get media exposure.”
During his time with the club, Mancini helped City win a championship title, one FA Cup and a Community Shield. In his last season with City, they lost the FA Cup final and came second in the Premier League.
