Manchester City fired manager Roberto Mancini

May 14 – Manchester City have fired manager Roberto Mancini.After one years of providing Primier laeuge awards to the city in long gap of 44 years he has been fired. He is fired after failing to successfully defend the Premier League title and being shocked in the FA Cup final by Wigan Athletic.

 

City entered the season with sky-high expectations. Given the amount of talent on the squad and last season's success, they were thought to be one of the best clubs in Europe. They didn't live up to that top billing and exit the campaign with the Community Shield as their biggest prize.

 

The move comes after the club suffered a brutal run of Champions League form earlier in the campaign. City didn't win a single match and finished in the Group D basement. It was the complete opposite of what supporters expected after entering as one of the favorites.
