Former Man City boss Roberto Mancini: Unconcerned by guilty verdict

Key Points:

• Roberto Mancini, former Manchester City manager and current Italy coach, stated he is unconcerned about being implicated in Manchester City's financial rule-breaking scandal, emphasizing it is the club's problem, not his.
• The scandal involves allegations that Manchester City failed to provide accurate details for player and manager payments between 2009-10 and 2017-18, including accusations of a "double contract" for Mancini during his tenure from 2009-13.
• Evidence published in 2018 suggested Mancini doubled his base salary through advising a club in Abu Dhabi, leading to claims that City potentially avoided paying about £12 million ($16 million) in taxes related to his salary.
• Manchester City has been found guilty by the Premier League of serious breaches of financial rules from 2009-18 and is currently appealing the verdict, maintaining its innocence throughout the case.
• Mancini led Manchester City to its first major titles after the club's acquisition by Abu Dhabi's ruling family, including the 2011 FA Cup and the 2011-12 Premier League title, before being dismissed in 2013.
