The coach career

hi guys i come again in this blog..

today i wanna discribe about the career of the coach..

let's check it.. Don't forget to comment guys..

hehehehehe :D

Early life

Mancini was born in the small town of Iesi, Marche, in 1964, but then moved onto the mountain town of Rocadaspida and was raised by Aldo and Marianna Mancini along with his younger sister Stephanie. Raised a Roman Catholic, his young life in Iesi revolved around religion and football. He was an altar boy and played for the local Aurora Calcio football team in his youth. On one occasion, a fixture clashed with his first Holy Communion. Halfway through the ceremony, the eight-year-old Mancini was nowhere to be seen. His local priest who was administering his first communion frequently coached football, he heard they were losing 2–0 at half-time and so he asked a young Mancini quietly after receiving his communion if he had his football kit and boots with him. Roberto said they were in the changing rooms and so he told him to sneak out of the side door and put them on because his team needed him, unbeknownst to his father.

Playing career

Overview

Mancini debuted in the Italian Serie A for Bologna on 12 September 1981. The following year, he was bought by Sampdoria, for £2.2 million, whom he played for until 1997. He later played for Lazio (1997–2000) and Leicester City (2001).

In Italy

With Sampdoria, he formed a dynamic strike partnership with Gianluca Vialli, and helped the club to its only league title in 1991, four Coppa Italias (1985, 1988, 1989 and 1994) and a Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. He also appeared in the final of the 1991–1992 European Cup against Barcelona.

At 27 Mancini sat on the interview panel that selected Sven-Goran Eriksson as manager. When it was time to choose the new kit, Mancini ticked it off. He often delivered the team-talk. He attended board meetings and had a say in transfer business.

Take this story from David Platt's 1995 autobiography, Achieving the Goal, about the day he played at Sampdoria for Bari and, lining up in the tunnel, became aware that Mancini was looking his way. "I thought nothing of it until he asked me, very matter-of-factly, if I was staying at Bari. Outright he asked if I wanted to join Sampdoria. Mancini had been at the club years and was almost a son to the president, Paolo Mantovani." Mancini kept in touch when he moved to Juventus and eventually helped bring him to Sampdoria.

At that stage Mancini had established himself as the most powerful voice in the Blucerchiati dressing room but, even as a teenager, he was not someone who liked his authority being questioned. Trevor Francis signed from Manchester City in 1982 and, aggrieved that his place was under threat, Mancini ended up picking a fight with him on the training ground. He was 18 at the time, taking on a man 10 years older.

Nor was this a one-off. A similar thing happened with Liam Brady, this time giving away eight years. Juan Sebastián Verón tells the story of swearing in Mancini's direction during an argument about a badly taken corner. After the match Mancini had stripped off to the waist and was waiting to fight him. "He is not an easy person, you know," Verón says. "He has this complicated personality."

With Lazio he won his second scudetto (2000) and Cup Winners' Cup titles (1999) as well as two more Coppa Italias (1998 and 2000). In the 1999–2000 season, Lazio won the Scudetto and Coppa Italia, but Mancini failed to score in 20 matches and he announced his playing retirement. He joined Lazio’s coaching staff as Sven-Göran Eriksson’s number two.

Leicester City

Joining Leicester City on loan in January 2001, Mancini made his FA Premier League debut against Arsenal at the age of 36, but failed to complete 90 minutes in his five appearances for the club. In early February, he was given leave of absence, citing personal reasons. He telephoned the club on 14 February, however, and informed them he would not be returning to England (he had been offered the manager's job at Fiorentina). Despite this, he cites his time at Leicester as the period during which he fell in love with the English game, and which later prompted him to accept the job at Manchester City.

International career

Despite success at club level, Mancini never became a regular for Italy. At the under-21 level, Mancini was part of the team which reached the semi-finals in the 1984 Championship and finished runners-up in 1986. He made his international senior squad debut in 1984 against Canada, won 36 caps, and scored four goals for his country (including a goal against West Germany at Euro 1988). He was also a non-playing member of the Italian squad at the 1990 World Cup, being kept out of the side by competition from Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Baggio. His international career ended after a dispute with national team coach Arrigo Sacchi, when Mancini was upset because he would not be guaranteed a first team place at the 1994 World Cup. Fierce competition for places hindered his international opportunities with forward players like Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Baggio and later Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero hastened his self-imposed exile from the Italian national team.

Managerial career

Fiorentina

Although Mancini had written a research pamphlet entitled "Il Trequartista", which examined the role of an attacking midfielder, he had not as yet attained the necessary coaching badges to become a manager. He therefore needed special dispensation from the Italian football authorities to take the post at Fiorentina. Fiorentina was plagued by financial problems and made occasional playing appearances himself. According to various sources, Mancini sometimes worked unpaid and even received death threats as key players such as Rui Costa and Francesco Toldo had to be sold. Despite this, Mancini managed to win the Coppa Italia before quitting in January 2002, after just 10 months in the job, with Fiorentina in the relegation zone of Serie A. Fiorentina were subsequently relegated in June 2002.

Lazio

In May 2002, Mancini was appointed manager of Lazio. He was again restricted by financial considerations, having to sell key players such as Hernán Crespo and Alessandro Nesta, and players were forced to take an 80 percent pay cut. In his first season with Lazio, however, the club reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. In 2003–04, Lazio won the Coppa Italia. Lazio finished fourth in 2003 and sixth in 2004. Before the start of the 2004–05 season, rumours circulated in the Italian press that Internazionale had approached Mancini to fill the recently-vacated managerial position at the club. Shortly after, Mancini quit Lazio and announced that he would be joining Inter.

Roberto Mancini whilst at Inter

Internazionale

Under Mancini, Inter soon won the club's first domestic trophy since 1989. Inter became the dominant team in Italy. In Mancini's first season, Inter won the Coppa Italia with a 3–0 victory over Roma at the San Siro. Inter finished third in Serie A and reached the Champions League quarter-finals only to be knocked out by city rivals Milan 3–0 on aggregate. In August 2005, Inter won the Italian Super Cup for the second time in their history with a 1–0 victory over Juventus. Inter again won the Italian Cups and Italian Super Cup. Following the Calciopoli scandal, Juventus were stripped of the Scudetto title, which was handed to Inter instead. Inter achieved a record-breaking run of 17 consecutive victories in Serie A, starting on 25 September 2006, with a 4–1 home win over Livorno and ending on 28 February 2007 after a 1–1 draw at home to Udinese. The run lasted for almost five months and is among the best in European league football history. Inter won a second successive league title with five games to spare and only losing one league game all season. Inter finished with a record-breaking 97 points, which is an Italian football record and, until 2010, was a European record. Mancini became the third coach in Inter history to win back-to-back league titles after Alfredo Foni (1952–53 and 1953–54) and Helenio Herrera (1964–65 and 1965–66). Inter also progressed to the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup for the third consecutive season, but were beaten in both finals by Roma. Once again, however, Inter struggled in Europe. In the Champions League they were knocked out in the first round by Valencia. At the end of the game, there was a mass brawl involving both sets of players. Mancini was not involved in the incident, but camera footage showed him attempting to block a camera's view, before he was seen shrugging his shoulders and walking away.

This was Mancini's fourth, and final, season in charge of Inter. His reputation continued to grow as he added a third consecutive Serie A title to his honours. Again he guided Inter to the Coppa Italia final, but lost for a second consecutive season to Roma, 2–1 at the Stadio Olimpico. Despite his successes, the inability to make any real progress in the Champions League displeased Inter owner Massimo Moratti. Inter were knocked out in the second round of the Champions League by Liverpool. In March 2008, amid rumours that he was to be sacked and replaced by José Mourinho at the end of the season, Mancini announced his intention to step down at the end of the 2007–08 season. He rescinded this decision a day later after meeting with Inter President Massimo Moratti. On 29 May 2008, Inter officially announced the sacking of Mancini. Club Chairman Massimo Moratti justified the sacking by pointing to Mancini's negative comments after the Liverpool defeat.^[26] He was replaced by José Mourinho, formerly of Chelsea.

Out of football

Mancini was linked to the vacant Chelsea job in May 2008 and then the Notts County job On 30 October 2009, Mancini won compensation for his sacking by Inter. The contract settlelent, however, meant Mancini was actually unemployable by any other club from May 2008 to October 2009. It was rumoured that Mancini was entitled to a €16 million pay-off, but in the end, he reportedly settled for €5 million.

Manchester City

Mancini in July 2010

On 19 December 2009, Mancini was publicly revealed to be taking over as manager of Manchester City on a three-and-a-half year deal following the sacking of Mark Hughes. With wealthy Emirati owners who were willing to invest heavily in the team, Manchester City had become a club expectant of success.

2009–10

Having been appointed half-way through the season, Mancini's arrival had an immediate impact on City's form, with four consecutive wins. Mancini won his first ever Manchester Derby 2–1 in a Carling Cup semi-final first leg. Manchester United won the second-leg 3–1, however, and eliminated City from the competition.

In April, Manchester City moved into fourth place in the Premier League. On May 5, however, a single goal defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur meant that City missed out on a Champions League spot. City finished the season in fifth place, their highest Premier League finish. There had been speculation that Mancini might lose his job if City failed to secure Champions League football, but chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak gave his support to Mancini.

2010–11

Mancini as Manchester City manager in November 2010

Mancini spent heavily during the summer transfer window. He signed German international defender Jérôme Boateng from Hamburg for approximately £10.64 million, Spanish World Cup winner David Silva from Valencia for approximately £24 million, Yaya Touré from Barcelona for around £24 million, and Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio for approximately £16 million. During this season Roberto was seen to be attempting to sign Georgia Hooton to his backroom staff after being seen at the Etihad stadium in conversation with her. Although it is not known what was being said due to both speaking in Italian it is thought he was attempting to sign her as a physio.

The 2010–11 Premier League season was marked by runs of mixed form. With a 2-0 win away at Wigan Athletic on 19 September 2010, City moved into fourth position in the league and did not drop out of the top four positions during the rest of the season. In October and November, the team struggled for form, which put some pressure on Mancini, with his tactics widely criticised following two consecutive 0–0 home draws with Manchester United and Birmingham City.

A fine run of form in the weeks running up to Christmas, however, meant City occupied first place in the Premier League twice over the Christmas period. In the ten games before the 15 January 2011, City won seven times, drew twice, and lost only once as they moved into title contention, whilst also securing passage into the Round of 32 of the Europa League by finishing as the top team in Group A. As a result of his team's strong league form, Mancini was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month award for December.

Premier League form tailed off again in the new year with City jointly contesting the FA Cup and Europa League, and Mancini cited burnout for losing ground in the league title race. City were eliminated from the Europa League by Dynamo Kyiv in March, but his team replied strongly by winning eight out of the next ten matches, including an FA Cup semi-final victory at Wembley Stadium over local rivals Manchester United in April. A win over Tottenham Hotspur in May guaranteed City the opportunity to play Champions League football the following season. This win was followed by City winning the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Stoke City in the following weekend's final at Wembley. This FA Cup triumph meant that Mancini joined five other City managers who have all won major honours, and it has finally ended the club's longest trophy drought in its history.

Due to their late run of form, City finished third in the league ahead of Arsenal after a 2-0 win over Bolton Wanderers on the last day of the season, thereby avoiding the need to participate in play-off round fixtures in order to progress to the group stages of the following season's Champions League competition. Only goal difference separated City from achieving a second place finish over Chelsea.

2011-12

The club were quieter in the closed season transfer window than in previous years, with the club's spending of approximately £75 million more in line with the corresponding amounts spent by rivals Manchester United and Liverpool. £60 million of this sum was used to purchase two players: Sergio Agüero, for a club record fee, and Samir Nasri. Other players purchased during the summer included Gaël Clichy and Stefan Savić, while Owen Hargreaves joined on a free transfer after having been released by Manchester United.

Manchester City started this Premier League season very strongly, winning 12 of their first 14 matches, and scoring an impressive 48 goals while only conceding 13. These results left City undefeated and five points clear at the top of the league over second-placed local rivals Manchester United by the beginning of December. A revitalised Edin Džeko won the Premier League player of the month award for August 2011, and David Silva won the same award for September 2011. Many were impressed with the impact of Agüero and Nasri which had given City an exciting, attacking verve. Mancini was also responsible for inflicting Manchester United's worst loss since 1955 when his City side won 6-1 at Old Trafford. He was named Premier League Manager of the Month as a result of Manchester's City strong form in the month of October.

Chelsea was the first team to beat Mancini's unbeaten team on 12 December 2011 with 2-1 win, which ends Manchester City's 14 unbeaten games in the 2011–12 Premier League matches. Man city later went on to be knocked out of the group stages of the Champions league in 3rd place within their group, and it only got worse as they also were knocked out of the FA cup by their famous rivals Manchester United.

Manchester City F.C Strip

hi guys icome again..

today i will discribe about the strip of manchester city player ..

but guys i'm sorry can't display the example of strip..

chek it out

Manchester City F.C. strip

Manchester City Football Club is an English professional football club founded in 1880 as St Marks (West Gorton) and currently based in east Manchester, Sportcity near Gorton where the club originally originated. The club's main colour is a distinctive light blue.

As St Marks (West Gorton) they played in a black strip from 1884–1887 and then in blue and white strips as Ardwick F.C. during 1887-1894. Since their inception as Manchester City Football Club in 1894, the club's main colour evolved over time into the colour of light blue and have always maintained this as the main home colour in all of their kits to date.

The club runs a series of partnerships and sponsorships with various companies. Their main partnership is with Etihad Airways with the club having a deal until 2021 which features broad agreement across many fronts unlike other football club sponsorship deals. Other partnership deals include EA Sports and Jaguar with a deal expected with Disney-owned ESPN in 2011.

Manchester City is often referred to as Man City purely out of convenience as a shorter name. The club are perhaps the most known club with the title of City in their name, hence why the club are often just referred to as City. Other nicknames include The Blues, The Sky Blues, and The Citizens, which is more often used outside England.

Traditional colours

Sky blue

The first use of sky blue for a Manchester City was the season in which Manchester City formed in 1894 changing from Ardwick.

Black

St. Marks (Gorton) in 1884 – the reason for the Maltese cross is unknown to this day

Reports dating from 1884 describe the team wearing black jerseys bearing a white cross, showing the club's origins as a church side.

Red and black

A booklet entitled Famous Football Clubs – Manchester City published in the 1940s indicates that West Gorton (St. Marks) originally played in scarlet and black.

In the 1960s, Malcolm Allison, then assistant manager to Joe Mercer insisted on the club wearing red and black striped away shirts. The belief was Allison wished to replicate the colours of AC Milan to inspire his players and give the team confidence.

Strangely enough, the idea worked and in the ensuing years won the 1969 FA Cup Final and 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup in red and black and were recognised as one of the most exciting teams in English football.

The kit was revived in 2004 for one season. But when the 2010-11 season saw past City greats such as Malcolm Allison, Neil Young and Mike Doyle pass away the red and black strips were revived in the away kit for the 2011-12 season. The club unveiled the red and black away kit at the homecoming parade in May 2011 when the club paraded their first FA Cup triumph since the red and black team of the 1960s and early 70s.

 Scarves

Roberto Mancini popularised the use of split blue and white scarves in the colours of Manchester City

In recent years, the club has become synonymous with plain blue and white 'split' scarves which were common in the pre-1970s in football. The blue and white scarf gained prominence under manager Roberto Mancini who continued his tradition of wearing a scarf of the club's colours which he manages. Mancini first wore a scarf when taking over as manager of Manchester City in December 2009 subsequently the club sold out of the scarves.

In 2011, the red and black colours worn by City in the last 1960s and early 1970s were revived in scarf form. During Manchester City's FA Cup run in 2010-11, the club were drawn against Leicester City. City bowed to pleas from Manchester City supporters to honour Neil Young, the scorer of Manchester City's winning goal in the 1969 FA Cup Final and who had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Consequently the club decided to produce special red and black scarves for supporters to take to Leicester for the third round tie. Coincidently, the red and black colours were introduced by former City manager Malcolm Allison who died earlier in the season and poignantly City won the 2010-11 FA Cup, their first since the famous red and black team of 1969.

In 2011, Manchester City decided to commission a tartan to commemorate the links between Selkirk and Manchester City where Bobby Johnstone was born. The tartan partern will be on various merchandise for winter 2011 including a scarf.

Badge

City have previously worn two other badges on their shirts. The first, introduced in 1970, was based on designs which had been used on official club documentation since the mid-1960s. It consisted of a circular badge which used the same shield as the current badge, inside a circle bearing the name of the club. In 1972, this was replaced by a variation which replaced the lower half of the shield with the red rose of Lancashire.

Current badge

The current club badgewas adopted in 1997, the exact reason of the badge change is believed to have been down to problems copyrighting the pre-1997 badge with the club stating: "an unsatisfactory situation had developed at Manchester City regarding the licensing out of the round badge on an ad hoc basis which has led to a number of problems with counterfeit goods. This we felt was leading to a devaluing of the Manchester City brand, and consequently its badge in both the modern market and in football." however some claim this is not the true reason for the new badge.

The badge is based on the arms of the city of Manchester, and consists of a shield in front of a golden eagle. The eagle is an old heraldic symbol of the city of Manchester; a golden eagle was added to the city's badge in 1958 (but has since been removed), representing the growing aviation industry. The shield features a ship on its upper half representing the Manchester Ship Canal, and three diagonal stripes in the lower half, for the city's three rivers. The bottom of the badge bears the Latin motto Superbia in Proelio which translates as Pride in Battle. Above the eagle and shield are three stars, which are purely decorative. As of 2010 the club has no intention of revising the current badge. Although the element of the eagle in the new badge design was not well received by famous City fan Noel Gallagher, "It looks like the Lazio badge with that eagle on it. The last badge had a little ship on it going down the Manchester Ship Canal and the rose of Lancashire. When was the last time you saw an eagle in Manchester?"

Manchester Coat of Arms

Manchester coat of arms

Whenever Manchester City plays in a major cup final or at Wembley, the club maintains a unique tradition of not wearing the usual badge; instead shirts bearing a badge of the City of Manchester coat of arms are used, as a symbol of pride in representing the city of Manchester at a major event. This practice originates from a time when the players' shirts did not normally bear a badge of any kind, but has continued throughout the history of the club. The coat of arms were used since the 1926 FA Cup Final to all major finals at Wembley or in European competition until the 1981 FA Cup Final.

The shield base is red with three gold bands diagonally across to the right hand side representing the three rivers of Manchester: the Medlock, the Irwell and the Irk. The top segment shows a ship in full sail, a reference to the city's trading base and to the Manchester Ship Canal. On a multicoloured wreath is a terrestrial globe, which symbols Manchester's world trade. In the globe, bees are depicted in heraldic terms represents efficient industry and the Manchester bee is symbol seen around the city. To this day the bee is often used as a shorthand emblem of Manchester and the black and gold colour has been used in Manchester City's kit to represent the Manchester bee.

The last official acknowledgement that the Manchester coat of arms would adorn the Manchester City shirt at a Wembley or cup final was when the club released a press release in 1997 revealing their new badge, in which the club stated: "The new club crest is based on elements from the original "Arms of the City of Manchester", the badge which is still used by Manchester City PLC today and worn on the team shirt for all Wembley occasions"

The home shirt planned used in the 2011 FA Cup Final had the current badge but will have the Manchester coat of arms involved in the numbers on the back of the kit, rather than replacing the current Manchester City badge on the front of the shirt.

the captain of manchester city

hello guys.. now i will discribe the captain of manchester city..
check it out..

Vincent Jean Mpoy Kompany

Born 10 April 1986 is a Belgian footballer of Congolese origin who plays for Manchester City and the Belgium national team. He is capable of playing at both centre back and defensive midfield. In the 2011–12 season he was awarded the captaincy of Manchester City.

Kompany began his professional career at Anderlecht, spending three years at the Belgian club before moving to German club Hamburger SV in 2006. In the summer of 2008, at the age of twenty-two, he completed a transfer to his current club, Premier League side Manchester City. He has since established himself as an integral part of the Manchester City squad and is one of the bargain buys of the revolutionised City era,blossoming into one of the Premier League's best centre backs as evidenced in his inclusion in the 2010-11 Premier League Team of the Year.

ESPN describes Kompany as being known for his talent, composure and versatility, however it was noted that he is "not the most commanding in the air"
