Mancini offers Tevez to reconcile © EuroFootball.com

Carlos Tevez can return to the team if he apologizes for his behavior, says coach Roberto Mancini.

The 27-year-old footballer has not played since September, when he allegedly refused to enter the field after being substituted in the match against Bayern Munich. Tevez denies this.

However, Mancini is willing to reconcile if Tevez admits his mistake: "It all depends on Carlos. If he apologizes to the team and to me, everything will be as before.

If not, then, realizing what Carlos is worth, we can expect something in January when the transfer window opens."

A few days ago, Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian stated that his client is willing to stay in England, although he previously claimed to want to move to warmer countries.

"His family now lives in England, so Carlos is quite happy and adapted," Joorabchian said. "Previously, there were problems because the family lived separately, but now everything is fine. He would agree to play at another club in England."
