Anonymous
Roberto Mancini has distanced himself from allegations that Manchester City failed to disclose parts of his compensation while he managed the club from 2009 to 2013, saying the alleged double contract is the club’s concern. The allegations say he received additional compensation through a consultancy agreement with Abu Dhabi club Al-Jazira, also owned by City owner Sheikh Mansour; Mancini and City deny wrongdoing. Reports say City breached 114 of the 115 Premier League financial rules they were charged with, including rules on accurately reporting payments to managers, but Mancini disputes that the club has been found guilty and says the allegations are not new. The case remains ongoing, with City maintaining their innocence and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak saying the club is confident it can prove its case.
