Tevez may have to end Mancini rift, says adviser

Carlos Tevez’s advisor Kia Joorabchian claims a rift with manager Roberto Mancini is at the heart of the player’s dispute with the club.

But Joorabchian accepts the pair will have to put their differences to one side and work together for the rest of the season if Tevez’s hopes of a January transfer are scuppered.

Tevez has been in his native Argentina without the club’s permission since November having not played for them since September.
