Roberto Mancini - the man walks on water as far as I'm concerned.
He arrived in December 2009 and has sorted out our defence, which was frankly a comedy act when he took over from Hughes. He has helped restore Lescott's confidence, has assisted in Kompany's development into one of the finest central defenders, restored Micah Richards confidence and improved his defensive and positional awareness. Ditto for Kolo Toure and Pablo Zabaleta.
As my signature shows his stats breakdown season - by season,
Played: 100
Won: 58
Drawn: 21
Lost: 21
Goals For: 187
Goals Agst: 90
Finished 5th, 3rd and won the FA Cup.
