Roberto Mancini refers to ‘double’ Manchester City contract and says it ‘isn’t my problem’

Roberto Mancini appeared to admit having “a double contract” while managing Manchester City but insists the club are “not guilty” after being found to have breached Premier League financials rules.

Mancini led City to their first Premier League title in 2012 and into the Champions League during a four-year spell in Manchester. Currently in charge of the Italian national team, he described the scandal surrounding the club as “not a problem that concerns me”.

One element of the case against City is an investigation into payment details for players and managers between 2009 and 2018. The German magazine Der Spiegel obtained evidence that Mancini doubled his base salary of £1.45m by advising a club in Abu Dhabi.
