Man City: I'm the best manager in England - Roberto Mancini
Sport
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says he is currently "the best manager in England" and is not facing the sack. City are out of European competition and face a battle to retain their Premier League title, with Manchester United currently 12 points clear.
They are in the FA Cup quarter-finals but former City player Danny Mills has suggested Mancini will be replaced at the end of the season.
"In the last 15 months I am the best manager in England," said Mancini. Mancini took over at Manchester City in December 2009, replacing Mark Hughes.
Last season Manchester City closed an eight-point gap on United to win their first Premier League title with a dramatic 3-2 final day win over Queen's Park Rangers.
But this season his side have been left behind by United in the league and they also exited the Champions League at the group stage, finishing bottom of Group D and failing to win a match which also meant they failed to qualify for the Europa League.
There has been some restructuring behind the scenes this season, with former Barcelona technical director Txiki Begiristain appointed as director of football and speculation about Mancini's future has been growing.
