MANCHESTER CITY EXTENDS MANCINI'S CONTRACT TILL 2017.
Manchester City Football Club has announced that a new five year contract has been agreed with Manager Roberto Mancini. You will recall that Italian born Mancini guided the "Noisy Neighbours" to their first premiership trophy in more than forty decades after a dramatic 3-2 win over QPR on the final day of the league season. Under him, the club has risen steadily to become serious title contenders following their acquisition by the Etihad Group.
An elated Mancini had this to say about the new agreement. "I am delighted to be able to give all of my efforts to Manchester City for a further five years. The opportunity which exists to build on our recent success is enormous. Manchester City is a fantastic football club, from the owner, chairman, Board and the executive team, through to the players, staff and fans. "I am very much looking forward to the challenges and excitement ahead." This has thus ended the speculation linking him to the coaching position of the Russian team after Dick Advocaat's departure in the wake of their Euro 2012 first round exit.
The club's interim Chief Executive Officer John MacBeath had this to say on the club's website.
"Roberto’s managerial credentials have been well proven in Europe for many years and in leading a team which has won the FA Cup and an unforgettable Barclays Premier League title in successive seasons, his ability to manage in the English domestic game is also undisputed.
"This new agreement allows Roberto to focus on the challenge of guiding a team which is capable not only of defending the Premier League title, but one which can compete for European honours."
Already, the club is said to be in hot pursuit of Arsenal's Robin Van Persie in a bid to boost their attacking options for next season's title defence. We wish him all the best in his attempt to consolidate on the club's success next season.
