Mancini demands respect for City achievements

Roberto Mancini is often an animated character on the touchline but rarely allows his emotions to get out of hand away from the pitch.

But that changed dramatically yesterday as the Italian erupted when quizzed again about his future at the club ahead of tonight’s must-win Champions League clash with Ajax.

Mancini reacted angrily when asked a further question about claims from last week that he spoke to wealthy Ligue 2 club Monaco before the end of the last season.
