Mancini’s new £37.5 million contract makes him British
football’s highest-paid manager. With this contract, the City’s chief cleared
off speculation over his future despite a very tempting offer of £6.5 million a
year by Russian FA.
He said: “I’m very much looking forward to the challenges
and excitement ahead. The opportunity that exits to build on our recent success
is huge.”
The 47-year-old coach was wanted by Russian FA to replace
the Dick Advocaat, who left right after EURO 2012, for their World Cup 2018
Plan, which will be hosted in Russia .
However, Mancini was ready to commit a 5 year contract with
the English Premier League champion. His record breaking £7.5 million a year
takes him way above Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson in the pay league.
Fergie only earns around £4 million a year at Old Trafford.
This new contract is the gift for Mancini’s achievement of
guiding City to their first title in 44 year.

“I’m delighted to be able to give my all to City for a
further five years,” he said.
“This is a fantastic club from the owner, chairman, board
and executive team through to players, staff and fans.”
The Italian coach ended the club’s 35-year long wait for
silverware with last year’s FA triumph, followed by winning the Premier League
on the final day 12 months later.
This news, therefore, will come a relief to City supporters.
