Roberto Mancini addresses reports of dual contracts during Manchester City tenure
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has commented on allegations regarding a 'double contract' during his time at the club. The remarks follow Premier League charges against City for alleged financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2017.
Roberto Mancini, who managed Manchester City to their first Premier League title in 2012, has addressed ongoing scrutiny regarding his compensation during his tenure at the club. The former manager appeared to acknowledge the existence of a 'double contract' arrangement, a subject that has surfaced amidst a broader investigation into Manchester City’s financial practices.
Manchester City is currently facing a significant number of charges from the Premier League, which allege that the club failed to provide accurate financial information regarding player and manager remuneration over an eight-year period, spanning from 2009 to 2017. While these allegations have been described as potentially the largest scandal in the history of English football, Mancini distanced himself from the current proceedings. When asked about the situation, Mancini stated that the matter 'isn’t my problem,' suggesting he does not view the investigation as a personal concern despite his central role in the club's history during the period in question.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the club has previously denied any wrongdoing. Mancini, who currently manages the Italian national team, has not provided further details regarding the nature of the alleged dual contracts or the specific financial structures used during his time in Manchester.
