Mancini says Manchester City's infractions do not concern him
Manchester City was found guilty of one hundred fourteen financial offences out of one hundred fifteen, committed between 2009 and 2018, while Roberto Mancini, coach of the Nazionale, says that these matters do not concern him at all and notes that the subject has already been the focus of debate for several years.
Manchester City found guilty
The English club was found guilty of one hundred fourteen financial offences out of one hundred fifteen, for acts committed between 2009 and 2018. The exact sanction is yet to be determined.
Asked on Monday, Roberto Mancini responded: “Found guilty of what?”. The journalist raised the alleged double contract that the coach would have received at the time, but Mancini showed no concern.

“It’s not an issue that concerns me,” said the Italian coach. He added that the subject has already been debated for four or five years and that “Manchester City has not been found guilty” of the double contract. “It’s their problem, not mine,” he concluded.
Roberto Mancini was the Sky Blues’ manager between 2009 and 2013 before taking over the Italian Nazionale. His stint at Manchester City was never formalised, which places him outside any responsibility for the financial matters.
The contrast between Manchester City’s official condemnation and the coach’s apparent indifference shows that the club’s legal affairs are not among Mancini’s sporting priorities. He suggests that, for him, the financial matters remain outside his sphere of intervention.
