Ex-Man City Manager Roberto Mancini Appears to Acknowledge a 'Double Contract' with the Club
Mancini said the double contract issue is not his problem as City faces more than 100 financial charges, including inaccurate payment reporting.
- On Monday, Italy coach Roberto Mancini appeared to acknowledge holding "a double contract" while managing Manchester City as the club faces a landmark Premier League case regarding alleged financial breaches.
- Between 2009 and 2013, when Mancini delivered Manchester City's first title in 44 years, the Premier League alleges the club failed to provide "full details of manager remuneration" in contracts.
- According to Der Spiegel, Mancini earned a 1.45 million base salary plus 1.75 million as a consultant for a team controlled by Sheikh Mansour in Abu Dhabi, evidence published in 2018.
- Reports Friday indicated an independent panel upheld most of the 100-plus financial charges against City, though City chairman Khaldoon stated "nothing has changed" regarding the ongoing case.
- Speaking ahead of Monday's UEFA Nations League fixture, Mancini dismissed the controversy, saying "it's not an issue that concerns me" and claiming the matter has been discussed for years.
