According to reports on Saturday morning, City have already lined up Malaga coach Pellegrini to take over from Mancini this summer.
“It’s rubbish, this speculation. I will still be here next season. It is rubbish. I am very sorry for our fans”, Mancini told the BBC.
“I don’t know why the club didn’t stop this because I don’t think it is correct. If it is true I’m stupid because I don’t understand this.”
