thumbnail Hello,


Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has launched a stinging attack on Arsene Wenger, suggesting the Italian’s willingness to publicly criticize his players is the key difference between the pair.

The Arsenal boss has always publicly defended his players, in stark contrast to Mancini who has criticized his players in front of the media on occasion this season. However, the Italian believes his willingness to motivate his players through the press symbolizes a will to win that is inherently lacking at the Emirates Stadium.


"You don't improve if you have a manager saying 'ah, don't worry, you made a mistake but it doesn't matter'."


|For me, Carlo [Ancelotti] was the strange one." he said. "Carlo is one of the best managers in the world for me. He won the league and the FA Cup and then they sacked him.




"In Italy, the press is different because all the journalists think they are all managers. Not only the journalists, in fact. We have 55 million football managers in Italy. In England it's different. England is the place where every manager wants to be, in front of 40 or 50,000 people every week. It's beautiful."
