The Italian football manager dismissed questions surrounding a reported "double contract" he held while overseeing Manchester City between 2009 and 2013, stating the matter was not a concern of his.
Mancini's four-year spell at the Premier League club culminated in City's maiden top-flight championship in 2012, marking a watershed moment for the English side after decades of underperformance.
The allegations regarding concurrent contractual obligations have surfaced amid broader scrutiny of his time in charge, though Mancini's comments suggest he views the issue as inconsequential to his managerial record at the club.
The former Inter Milan boss has since gone on to manage several other clubs, including Italy's national team, maintaining a prominent position in European football despite the controversies from his Manchester City period.
