Mancini has been a hit in charge at City, winning his first three games in charge.
“He’s very strong on us working hard when we do not have the ball,” said Tevez.
“We’ve not conceded any goals in the last three games, so his methods are obviously working, and I’m really enjoying the way he has us playing.”
Tevez was named the Premier League player of the month for December.
“I’m very happy with my form but what’s more important is that the team has been playing well recently,” said Tevez.
“I was delighted to win the award but I want to give credit to my team-mates for all their help.
“It’s not just down to me. Without them I wouldn’t get the chances to score. And it’s important we keep this form going with some big games coming up.
“I didn’t start against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup but the team the manager picked did as well as any of the teams he’s chosen.
“The squad has the ability for the manager to pick a team to suit a certain game or if there are a few injuries about.
“He’s willing to change things, even during a match, so you have to be alert to what he wants to do.
“There’s a great spirit in the squad right now. Everybody has wanted to impress the new manager since he arrived.
“And it’s not easy to stay in the team because there are others ready to take your place.”
