Man City Boss Mancini offered new £22m four-year deal

Man City Boss Mancini offered new £22m four-year dealLondon, Oct. 29 : Coach Roberto Mancini has offered a new 22 million pound four-year deal by Manchester City, making him the Premier League''s joint highest-paid boss.

According to The Sun, Mancini’s contract will take his 3.5 million-pound-a-year salary to 5.5 million pound and put him alongside rival Alex Ferguson at Manchester United at the top of the pay league.

The mega deal is a reward for an amazing 22 months at the City helm. In that time he has guided the club to their first trophy in 35 years with last season''s FA Cup.

Mancini has also taken the club into the Champions League and to the top of the Premier League, which they currently lead by five points.

Last weekend he was the architect of one of the greatest results in the club''s history when they beat arch-rivals Manchester United 6-1 in the derby at Old Trafford.

Mancini, 46, has had plenty of money to spend but he has spent it well in assembling a squad that is now regarded amongst the very best in Europe.

The club''s owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak now want to ensure they tie his services down for another four years. (ANI)
