Manchester City has sacked manager Mark Hughes and has named the former Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini as his successor.
Mark Hughes sacked as Man City appoint Mancini manager
Back in September 2008, I made the following observation:
"I also hope current City manager Mark Hughes recalls the fate of Claudio Ranieri - while he was in charge of Chelski, they finished runners-up in the Premiership and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. But this wasn't good for the new owner of the club, one Roman Abramovich...who replaced Claudio with a certain "Special One."
So despite lying 6th place in the English Premiership, despite having lost only two games all season, and despite reaching the semi-final of the Carling Cup, Mark Hughes is out of a job.
I know "Sparky" isn't exactly my favorite football manager, but can someone explain the logic of replacing Hughes with Mancini, who has very little experience in the Premier League?
