It is reported that Manchester City
manager Roberto Mancini has been sacked after three-and-a-half years in charge
at the club.
A Statement release by the club said he was unable to
achieve any of the club’s target with exception of Champions League
qualification so they are left with no option but to part company with the Italian.
Assistant manager Brian Kidd will take over for the final two games of the season and the summer tour to America.
Manuel Pelligrini, the boss of Spanish club Malaga is favourite to take over at City next season.
City added in their statement that it was "a difficult decision", and thanked Mancini for the job he had done.
The news comes at the end of a season when City came second to champions Manchester United in the Premier League, went out in the Champions League group stages and lost the FA Cup final to Wigan.
