Mancini ‘arrogant and ignorant’

A former Manchester City kit man put the boot into Roberto Mancini yesterday, describing the Italian as “arrogant, vain and self-centred” in one of a series of tweets that were later deleted from his Twitter account.

Manchester City sacked Mancini on Monday evening, with his abrasive management style viewed as one of the reasons for the decision.

Stephen Aziz, who left for Sunderland last summer, said Mancini’s dismissal was karma.
