The Tevez saga
After leading Manchester City to Champions League qualification for the first time in their history, a rift opened up between manager and the club captain in a game against Bayern Munich.
Mancini substituted Edin Dzeko during the 2-0 defeat to the Germans with Carlos Tevez his intended replacement, yet the coach claimed Tevez refused to go on.
The fall-out afterwards looked as if the Argentinian would never play for the club again – as it was he spent five months on the sidelines sulking and had the captaincy stripped from him.
