Italy manager Roberto Mancini has declined to discuss the situation at Manchester City, saying: “It does not concern me.”
Mancini was asked about the matter but refused to offer a response on the club’s current problems.
The Italian managed Manchester City from 2009 to 2013. During his time in charge, the club won the English league title, the country’s cup and the Super Cup.
Media reports have previously claimed that Mancini had an additional undisclosed contract with Manchester City, under which he earned considerably more than the amount officially reported.
