AC Milan signing Robinho attacks both his Man City managers
AC Milan signing Robinho has attacked both the managers he had at Manchester City.
The Brazil superstar finally got his wish to leave City last week when he completed an £18 million move to the Italian giants.
The 26-year-old Samba star felt that life under Mark Hughes and Roberto Mancini was like going to work in an office environment rather than a football club.
Robinho, who cost City £32.5 million, told The People: "Neither Hughes nor Mancini understood me.
"Perhaps they only believed in the sporting side of things but that wasn't enough for me. There was a lack of contact between the players and the club.
"It was much like an office - to training and goodbye, to a match and goodbye. I am Brazilian and I can't offer my best performance if I'm not happy in every aspect of life.
"That was my problem. I am a special footballer and I need to be happy when I'm playing.
"That was the case at Real Madrid but never at City."

What a silly *****, not a clue, even after all our spending we still have come under budget. Try reading up on you thick, no nothing twat
That man Robinho should have been made to play in the reserves, we can afford it, then like when he was a Real madrid he would go crying to the president every day, the president of Real madrid said Robinho had mental health problems, shame he can play well but not in the prem it's to strong for him
Its not manager, its his own attitude. The world doesnt spin around him like he think it does. He's just a crook - take all the money he can get and backstab everyone that trusted him. He's no King. He thinks he's happy at AC Milan, but its only been days. With this sort of attitude, I really cant figure out how is he deem successful. An ugly face and an even ugly fat wife.
