'Not my problem!' - Roberto Mancini responds to Manchester City guilty verdict and double-contract claims
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has dismissed concerns regarding his involvement in the club's recent financial breach scandal. Mancini maintains that the allegations of secret payments and double contracts are not his responsibility.
Why it matters
The case represents a significant legal challenge for Manchester City and raises questions about financial transparency in elite professional football.
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has broken his silence following the Premier League’s explosive verdict against his former club, insisting that the legal fallout is not his concern. The Italian tactician, who famously led the Cityzens to their first Premier League crown, finds himself at the centre of allegations regarding secret payments during his tenure at the Etihad Stadium.
Mancini has delivered a blunt response to the ongoing legal storm surrounding Manchester City, claiming that the club's recent guilty verdict regarding financial breaches is "not my problem." The current Italy head coach was in charge at the Etihad between 2009 and 2013, a period that is now under intense scrutiny following the Premier League's confirmation that the club failed to provide accurate financial information.
