Roberto Mancini is set to be sacked as Manchester City manager with the Italian's tenure almost definitely ending before the club's post-season tour to the United States.
With club pursuing Manuel Pellegrini, the Malaga coach, as his potential replacement Mancini cut a troubled figure following Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Wigan Athletic.
Then he railed at the club for not killing the stories regarding Pellegrini, an illustration of Mancini's brusque style that has not endeared him players or some members of staff.
This and other factors have caused City's Abu Dhabi executive to lose confidence in Mancini, who was handed a five-year contract last summer after leading the club to a first title in 44 years.
Mancini, though, has struggled to build on that success, with his team exiting the Champions League in the group stages, losing their league title to their Manchester neighbours United and on Saturday losing to Wigan in the FA Cup final.
