da luck： Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has stated that he is open to discussing a new contract, as the progression at the Etihad Stadium outfit continues.
The Italian coach led the big-spending team to the top of the Premier League after a 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, and with his current deal to run out in July 2013, is eager to extend.
“I have this year and another year on my contract. I don’t want to leave,” he told Sky Sports.
“When the club decides on the contract and, if they are happy and I am happy to stay here, I don’t think we have any problems. It’s important for every manager to work well and get good results to take the team to the top.
“We can improve every year and I’m happy to be here. I have a good relationship with the owner and the chairman of the club, and I think it is important that both sides here are happy.
“We have improved a lot in the last 18 months. The squad has improved. The club is the same, but it’s important we are not stopping here,” he stated.
In comparing the Premier League manager’s role to that of a Serie A coach, he feels he can have more say over how the club is run, and is keen to continue in this capacity.
“In England the manager has more power regarding the team and that is a good thing. I’m probably moving towards that.
“I’m not saying I can have the power of someone like (Sir Alex) Ferguson, but it is important that if one manager stays in one place for three, four, five or six years it’s easier.
“We have to continue to improve because to be a strong team we need three or four years,” he concluded.
City are flying domestically but need a result at home to Villarreal on Tuesday in the Champions League, as they have only picked up one point from two games in Europe.
