Joe Hart: Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini blasts Pep Guardiola over his treatment of goalkeeper
Mancini, who won the league title with Hart in 2012, has no idea why he has been shipped off on loan
FORMER Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has blasted Pep Guardiola over his treatment of goalkeeper Joe Hart, admitting he has no idea why Guardiola has shipped Hart off to Torino on loan.
Hart has been the first casualty of Guardiola’s reign at the Etihad, with the stopper surplus to requirements under the Spaniard.
The Englishman was always No 1 for Mancini, and he just can’t work out why Guardiola does not seem to rate him.
Mancini said: “I do not know why he has done it but every tactician has his own ideas.
“(Torino chairman) Urbano Cairo has completed a great signing and has secured a reliable goalkeeper.
“Despite his age, I still believe that Hart can keep improving, especially because the coaches over here are very good. His experience will definitely help him.”
