Mancini: Moratti Is A Liar
Roberto Mancini has branded Massimo Moratti as a liar according to Radio Radio TV.
The former Fiorentina coach was sacked by Moratti on Tuesday night after months of speculation over his future with the Nerazzurri.

There have been many theories surrounding his exit but reports in Italy claim that the turning point which convinced Moratti was Mancio's decision to leave Figo out of the side.

According to reports Mancini lashed out and claimed that Moratti is a liar.

"He wanted to sack me back in January, he has lied to me for all these months and I never ever said anything to him," Mancini told Radio Radio TV

Youre very creative omair :p

although, im really very scared for next season its going to be very hard for us.
All the teams are getting better, and while we are also, I feel like they have the upper hand even the violas and samp have done better deals so far.

hopefully we can get good transfers and really compete next year, and maybe win the CL.

Milan miss out on Lloris Thursday 29 May, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nice goalkeeper and known Milan target Hugo Lloris will join French champions Lyon on Thursday.

The 21-year-old custodian was being watched by the Italian giants, as confirmed by Vice-President Adriano Galliani recently, but he’s opted to remain in his homeland.

Lloris will hold a Press conference this afternoon where he will announce details of his transfer. The youngster will replace departing 35-year-old Gregory Coupet.

Milan’s failure to lure the talented custodian will add strength to reports that Christian Abbiati will be part of the squad next season after spending the last three campaigns out on loan

Zidane autobiography stolen

Thieves have stolen the manuscript of Zinedine Zidane's eagerly anticipated autobiography, according to reports in France.

The 35-year-old, who retired from professional football after the 2006 World Cup, is believed to have written a warts and all book set to shock the industry.

Two laptops were taken from the houses of Zidane's ghostwriters, Christophe Deloire and a journalist known only as Anna B, in the space of three days.

The first burglary took place on April 1 at Deloire's house and Anna B was broken into 48 hours later.

Anna B told French weekly Le Point: “My electronic diary and laptop, which contained 90 per cent of the manuscript were stolen.
“We had just finished a chapter on doping. It is gone.”

Police investigating the burglary are confident, however, that the thieves will be caught.

Forensic teams are believed to have collected a DNA sample from the door of Deloire's apartment that could lead them to the robbers.

The book was due to come out on May 23, but its release was put back to September 24 after the main author, Besma Lahouri, requested more time to finish the project.

Lahouri today intimated that he believes the book came to be stolen because certain people did not want it to be published.

“Of the many people I interviewed for the biography, some called me back to say they no longer wanted to appear in the book.

“I excavated a wealth of material from publicists and financiers, but above all looked at doping, which had never been written about before.”

Zidane's former club Juventus were implicated in a doping scandal while the World Cup winner was with the Turin giant's between 1996 and 2001.

The Frenchman was asked to give evidence to Turin magistrates investigating the matter, which came to their attention after a provocative interview given by former Roma boss Zdenek Zeman.

Juventus were, however, cleared of all charges.

Mancini And Moratti In Explosive Fight

Roberto Mancini always knew that he would get the chop from Massimo Moratti after the coach fell out with both the president and his side. Lies, backstabbing and a divided dressing room seem to have led to Mancini's exit and they almost exchanged blows during their explosive final fight according to reports in Italy.

According to Il Giornale, the meeting between Mancio and Moratti lasted just fourteen minutes and it was a heated exchange. Mortatti played the cool and calm tactics but the coach was having none of it.

Here is the conversation between the two according to Il Giornale:

Moratti: Hello Roberto, how are you?

Mancini: I am fine thank you.

Moratti: How's the family?

Mancini: Good thanks.

Moratti: Roberto, I have to give you some bad news.

Mancini: I knew it.

Moratti: I have to let you go.

Mancini: No, you want to let me go, it's different.

Moratti: No, don't say these things. You know, the team, I spoke to them and something is not right. So, it's better to change.

Mancini: Don't say this, you already had Mourinho lined up back in January.

Moratti: No, not at all, it's not how you think.

Mancini: Nooo! You have been giving me all sorts of stories and lies for months. I have always behaved in the right way and I have never lied to you. It's a decision I cannot understand.

Moratti: What are you talking about? don't be like this, listen to me!

Mancini: Listen to what? You didn't even enjoy this centenary Scudetto.

Moratti: What has that got to do with this? Calm down and lets talk with tranqulity.

Mancini: Seeing that you're letting me go, I can't even be bothered to listen to you anymore.

Moratti: Don't leave it like this, let us at least talk about a good exit payment.

Mancini: I don't want your good exit payment, you have to give me the money for my four years of contract and I won't even take off one Euro. But don't worry, you will be hearing from my lawyers and with this I am off.

Who knows where this feud will end. Mancini has been linked with the Chelsea job while Inter still have not unveiled Jose Mourinho.

Moratti will have to pay his former coach around €30m in compensation.

    Mihajlovic Slams Mancini Sacking

    Sinisa Mihajlovic has slammed the decision by Massimo Moratti to sack Coach Roberto Mancini.

    ancini was told to pack his bags and leave San Siro during a brief meeting with the Inter President on Tuesday afternoon, and his former right-hand man Mihajlovic has revealed the tactician’s reaction to the news.

    “He took it very, very badly,” the Serbian revealed.

    “He was very disappointed with what happened.

    “Roberto came out of the meeting with the President and phoned me immediately to tell me the news. It was the wrong decision.”

    Mihajlovic, who will now almost certainly leave the club as well so that incoming coach Jose Mourinho can bring in his own staff, added that he was stunned that Moratti could make such a decision.

    “I never expected such a decision from Moratti,” he stated.

    “I do not agree with what has happened. Mancini could have continued to win at this club with just a couple of new signings.”

    Mancini has now emerged as one of the hot favourites to fill the vacant manager’s position at Chelsea, following last week’s sacking of Avram Grant.
