Roberto Mancini could quit as Manchester City boss inside a year if he doesn’t receive the backing he requires.
Sportsmail understands he is unlikely to see out his recently-signed contract if he continues to be left high and dry over new signings.
A source close to Mancini said: ‘He has three targets before the window closes — Daniele De Rossi, Maicon and Stevan Jovetic.
'We will see what happens in the next few days. He feels there is no one at the club doing the transfer dealing for him and he has been left with just 19 players for the new season. He is angry, as you can imagine.
‘He is ambitious, he has just won the Premier League and wants to win the Champions League. But he can’t do that without the right support.
‘He isn’t about to walk out on City but if nothing else happens before the transfer window closes this could be his last season at City. I wouldn’t rule out a move elsewhere next season.’
There is still tension between Mancini and City chief executive Brian Marwood.
The Italian will want to see some of his targets realised in the next five days if he is to be pacified
