Roberto Mancini signs new Manchester City FC deal

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has ended speculation about his future by signing a new five-year deal with the Premier League champions.

Mancini replaced Mark Hughes as City boss in December 2009 and helped them beat Stoke City in the final of the FA Cup in 2011.

The Italian then guided City to their first top-flight title since 1968 in May when his side held off the challenge of Manchester United, snatching two stoppage-time goals in the final game of the season against QPR to seal the three points needed to finish at the head of the table.

Some bookmakers today slashed the odds on him being the next Premier League manager sacked following reports that the Russian FA were planning to offer him a mega-money deal to take charge of the national team, but Mancini has eased the fears of the City faithful by inking a new contract.

"Manchester City is a fantastic football club," Mancini told the club's official website. "I am very much looking forward to the challenges and excitement ahead.

"I am delighted to be able to give all of my efforts to Manchester City for a further five years. The opportunity which exists to build on our recent success is enormous."

Interim Chief Executive Officer John MacBeath added: “Roberto’s managerial credentials have been well proven in Europe for many years and in leading a team which has won the FA Cup and an unforgettable Barclays Premier League title in successive seasons, his ability to manage in the English domestic game is also undisputed. 

“This new agreement allows Roberto to focus on the challenge of guiding a team which is capable not only of defending the Premier League title, but one which can compete for European honours.”

City are 11/10 with bet365 to make it back-to-back titles in 201/13, and the Eastlands outfit are 13/2 to win the Champions League.
