Mancini sacked

Apparently this happened prior to yesterdays game. Pelligrini takes the reigns in the coming weeks.........Im double gutted this week. Never mind Turkey two weeks on Thursday.



Mancini WILL be sacked (and his fate was sealed before FA Cup Final shock)... and Pellegrini WILL take over as new City boss

Roberto Mancini's reign as manager of Manchester City is effectively over.
The Italian will be sacked and replaced by Malaga's Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini as soon as City can put together his severance package.
It is understood that Mancini could even be sacked tonight or tomorrow morning and there is certainly no guarantee that he will be in charge for Tuesday night's Barclays Premier League at Reading.

Time's up: Roberto Mancini's spell as Manchester City manager will be ended this week

New man: Manuel Pellegrini is set to leave Malaga and take over Mancini's job at the Etihad

Awkward: Mancini shakes hands with City chief Ferran Soriano as chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak (right) watches

Lonely: The Italian collects his runners-up medal after the shock defeat by Wigan
The decision was taken by the three City powerbrokers: Ferran Soriano, Txiki Begiristain and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak before yesterday's numbing FA Cup Final defeat against Wigan.
Even a win would not have saved him.
Mancini has three years left on the new contract he signed after winning the Premier League last season but will be paid a multi-million pound sum according to a clause written in to the agreement.
It is understood that Mancini is being relieved of his position not just because of relatively disappointing results but also because of the way relationships between him and significant others at the club have broken down.

Winner: Zabaleta was sent off for City (above) before Watson scored in the dying moments at Wembley




Going close: Mancini's second cup final was a tight affair, but his side were disappointing in a shock defeat

Begiristain and Soriano have by all accounts been dismayed by the way that Mancini's relationship with his dressing room has deteriorated while there has been concern about the way their coach has persistently criticised club officials in press conferences.
It remains possible - but unlikely - that Mancini will be retained until next weekend's final league fixture but he will definitely be sacked before the squad leave for a tour of New York the very next day.
That trip is now likely to be led by assistant manager Brian Kidd.

Ferguson was far less successful than Mancini at the same point of his management tenure as Mancini has had to date. That's the difference between United and City/Chelsea.

And Wenger just sits there with no trophies for 8 years and laughs.  ;)

United went through a fair few managers after Busby's retirement. We will see.

Shame City have never had a Busby or a Ferguson.

I can too, almost.

Almost because with Jose I think he sees clubs like people see designer goods - he wants to manage the biggest names in football and has improved on that every time he has moved on. No disrespect but I don't see Manchester City as the next name in the list that most recently goes Porto - Chelsea - Inter Milan - Real Madrid
