It is with regret that Manchester City Football Club announces that Roberto Mancini has been relieved of his duties as Manchester City Manager.

This has been a difficult decision for the owner, Chairman and Board to make and it is the outcome of a planned end of season review process that has been brought forward in light of recent speculation and out of respect for Roberto and his extensive contributions to the Football Club.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, the Club has failed to achieve any of its stated targets this year, with the exception of qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League. This, combined with an identified need to develop a holistic approach to all aspects of football at the Club, has meant that the decision has been taken to find a new manager for the 2013/14 season and beyond.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “Roberto’s record speaks for itself and he has the respect and gratitude of Sheikh Mansour, myself and the Board for all of his hard work and commitment over the last three and a half years. He has clearly also secured the love and respect of our fans. He has done as he promised and delivered silverware and success, breaking the Club’s 35-year trophy drought and securing the title in 2012. I would like to personally and publicly thank him for his dedication to the progress that he has overseen and for his support and continued friendship."

Assistant Manager Brian Kidd will take interim responsibility for the remaining two games of the season and the post-season tour to the United States.

Thanks for the memories. You haven't entertained me for a while tho

Pellagrini

City act classless again with our best coach in years. A really sad day. Unfortunately our fucking club always has a knack of screwing up.

Roberto I thank you.

In the 17 years straight I've had my season ticket I've never ever considered fuckin it off the next season as much as I am now. Even when we were being shat on by Bury and Stockport. They've really pissed me off!!!

We thought it might happen, but it's still a shock.

Feel gutted.

All the best Bob and thanks for those amazing memories.

Murinhio to City trending in Spain on Twitter ... can this be true? Today we heard Pelligrini deny any and all contact with City and also Real Madrid's bid for Ancelloti rejected by PSG ... which does give wind to a possibility that Murinhio is out of there while Pelligrini is not!!

Fookin hell AG7 you don't miss a trick do you mate?

Thanks for the memories and all that,plenty of mistakes but plenty of fun aswell.

Sad

Do not agree with it but I am glad it was done now, it was becoming a farce.

Who would have seen it a year ago today eh? Sad :-(

Today is the fucking first anniversary of the best day of my life ... Which asshole decided to do this today? 13th fucking May you assholes!!!!

Fuck fuck fuck ... some serious Spanish or Arab cunts!
