Roberto Mancini brushed off reports that his former club Manchester City have been found guilty of 115 financial breach charges. Speaking in Türkiye ahead of a Nations League fixture, the Italy coach dismissed the allegations as not his concern. "It's not an issue that concerns me," Mancini said in Bursa. "It's their issue, not mine." A source confirmed to ESPN that City were expected to be found guilty on the vast majority of charges. The Premier League alleged City failed to provide full details of manager remuneration between 2009 and 2013, the period Mancini was in charge.

German publication Der Spiegel reported Mancini earned £1.45 million in basic salary and £1.75 million as a consultant for a team controlled by City owner Sheikh Mansour in Abu Dhabi. City did not deny the guilty verdicts in a Friday statement, saying the process remains ongoing. Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak added that confidence in proving the club's innocence remains strong.

As well as the 2011-12 Premier League title, Mancini also led City to the 2011 FA Cup final. He returned to manage Italy this summer. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
