Roberto Mancini says an alleged “double contract” during his time as Manchester City manager is “not my concern” after the club were found guilty of breaking the majority of the financial rules they were accused of breaching.
The 115 charges brought by the Premier League against City included 14 instances of failing to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18.
That period covered Mancini’s three and a half years in charge, during which he won the FA Cup in 2011 and City’s first top-flight title for 44 years in 2012.
Mancini, the current Italy manager, was asked during a news conference before Monday’s Nations League game against Turkey about the allegations relating to his remuneration as City manager.
“Found guilty of what?” he said. “It’s not an issue that concerns me. It’s nothing new because this matter has been discussed for the last four or five years.
“Manchester City has not been found guilty, and the alleged double contract is not my concern. It’s their issue, not mine.”
