After three and a half years of work, Roberto Mancini has been fired from his position as manager of "Man City" club. In the remaining two matches of the season, the Manchester team will be led by his assistant Brian Kidd.
The official statement claims that the Italian failed to achieve the goals set for the team, except for qualifying for the next season's UEFA Champions League. It is added that the decision was not easy to make, but considering all circumstances, they decided to take this step.
"Roberto's results speak for themselves, he has earned the love and respect of the fans," said "Man City" chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. "Roberto kept his promise and won trophies."
Last season, Mancini's team triumphed in the English Premier League, but this season they fell behind "Man Utd". In addition, the team failed to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and a few days ago in the FA Cup final, they unexpectedly lost to "Wigan".
The favorite to replace Mancini, who has been in place since the end of 2009 replacing Mark Hughes, is considered to be Manuel Pellegrini, who is currently coaching "Malaga".
