Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits he enjoys working for owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak.

Mancini believes the backing he received from the club's hierarchy during their most testing times helped inspire the players to success on the final day.

The Italian told Sky News Arabia: "We have a fantastic relationship because they are really good men. They always supported the team, even in the bad moments.

"We won this title also for this reason. In difficult moments like after Arsenal where we were eight points behind, the club and Khaldoon supported me and all the team."
