Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has predicted that Roberto Mancini will achieve ‘great things’ with the club.
Mancini guided City to their first title in 44 years when they overcame QPR 3-2 in dramatic fashion at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and Al Mubarak says this is the start of a sustained period of dominance for the blue half of Manchester.
‘This is a manager who will do a lot of great things for this club,’ said the chairman.
‘Roberto is a winner. He has a very strong character, he wants to win more than anyone I’ve ever seen.
‘He’s so driven to winning, it gives you confidence and an incredible amount of energy.’
Al Mubarak also reflected on the most dramatic ending of a Premier League season ever, when Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero scored injury-time goals to overcome QPR 3-2 and claim the title.
‘I don’t think you’ll see a finish like that in the Premier League for many, many years to come.’ He stated.
‘It still hasn’t sunk in. It was such an emotional rollercoaster. I’m still trying to grasp it. It’s obviously an incredible feeling for every single person associated with this club
‘In that game, we had fans crying and it typifies the emotions these fans go through. It wasn’t over but the emotion of being so close to the title and seeing it slipping away, watching that was very emotional.’
