I''m the boss, says Man City coach Roberto Mancini

 I''m the boss, says Man City coach Roberto Mancini London, Oct 1 : Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has warned his superstar rebels, saying that he is the boss after Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko questioned his authority.

Mancini went through terrible times this week after Tevez refused to play in Munich on Tuesday night.

The Italian faced mutiny in Munich when Tevez refused to go on as a second-half sub- stitute, while Edin Dzeko threw a strop after being hauled off in the 2-0 defeat to the Ger- man champions.

Tevez has been suspended pending a club investigation while Dzeko has since apologised and is expected to line-up at Blackburn today.

Mancini, however, stressed that he is the boss and his focus is the Premier League, The Sun reports.

"It''s finished. I''m the manager, our focus is on the Premier League and the Champions League. The other things are not my problem. The only complication I had two days ago was that we lost against Bayern Munich. Only this. The other thing, no, absolutely," he added.

Mancini’s stand against Tevez that he would not be allowed to play for the club, was praised by his biggest rival Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

"I think Roberto Mancini has come out showing his strength of character, his strength of management. That''s important in today''s management. We have all experienced our own difficulties in management. You cope with it as best you can,” Fergie said. (ANI)
