What to expect from a Roberto Mancini team?
Anyone on here watch much Serie A? Have to admit, they show it over here, but the games are dire for the most part, so its usually just background noise on a Saturday afternoon.
What I'm wondering is, what can we look forward to from a Mancini managed squad? Does he like his teams to play football, and most importantly are they any good at defending....fuck me, I hope so....
Anyone shed any light?

Re: Its Mancini and Kidd
Wow I didn't see this coming.... I mean Mancini that is. I would've thought if we're going to make a change it would be for a big big name like Jose or Hiddink. This is the owners choice lets hope its proven to be a well thought out decision and not a case of the irrational behaviour you sometimes see from foriegn owners.

Re: Its Mancini and Kidd
I am sad to see Hughes go, simply because its another City manager who has failed!!
However, I am a City fan first and will back the club's judgement. Mancini has a great managerial record and was amazingly sacked by Inter because he didn't win the Champions League, even though he had won 3 League titles and 2 Italian Cups with them.

Re: Its Mancini and Kidd
very disappointing -he's maybe been a bit weak on tactics and some of his signings haven't performed but only two losses and beating Arse / chelsea! I think we should have stuck it out dropped the non performers and concentrated on top six. Walk before we run! Typical city -want to win immediately.

New Manager (from the OS)
Manchester City FC can confirm that it has today terminated the contract of Mark Hughes.
In giving reason for the termination Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said:
“Prior to the current season beginning, with significant investment in players and infrastructure in place, the consensus between the Board and coaching staff was that appropriate agreed targets should be set for the 2009/2010 season.
“The targets were agreed as a result of the player acquisition strategy of the club being radically accelerated in the summer as a result of very favourable conditions for any buying club. It was also based on the fact that the infrastructure of the club had been overhauled completely at great cost in order to create the best possible environment for the team.
“A return of two wins in 11 Premier League games is clearly not in line with the targets that were agreed and set. Sheikh Mansour and the Board felt that there was no evidence that the situation would fundamentally change. This is a particularly difficult announcement given the personal investment over the past 15 months on all sides and we would like to put on record our respect for and thanks to Mark Hughes and we wish him the best in his future career.”
Manchester City Football Club can confirm the appointment, with immediate effect on a permanent contract, of Roberto Mancini and are also pleased to announce that Brian Kidd will join Roberto as assistant manager.
Commenting on the appointment, Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “Roberto is a hugely experienced manager with a proven track record of winning trophies and championships. His experience and track record speak for themselves. What is absolutely clear is that Roberto believes in Manchester City’s potential to achieve at the highest level and importantly in his own ability to make this happen. My hope is that our incredible fans will join us in welcoming Roberto to the football club.”
Mark Bowen, Eddie Niedzwiecki, Kevin Hitchcock and Glyn Hodges have also left the Club and further appointments will be announced in due course.
