What happened. Roberto Mancini says an alleged "double contract" from his time as Manchester City manager is "not my concern" after the club were found guilty of breaking most of the financial rules they were accused of breaching. The 115 Premier League charges included 14 instances of failing to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18.
- Mancini managed City from December 2009 to May 2013, winning the FA Cup and a league title.
- He was asked about the allegations at a news conference before Italy's Nations League game against Turkey.
- Der Spiegel previously accused City of paying part of Mancini's compensation via a fictitious consultancy contract.
“Manchester City has not been found guilty, and the alleged double contract is not my concern.”

Mancini, now Italy manager, insists the matter is City's issue as the club deals with the fallout of the ruling.
