Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he's staying.

The Italian is not planning to leave the Etihad Stadium but admitted to missing life in his homeland.

"I'm fine at City," said Mancini. "I work in a very serious club and in England it is easier to work. There is a project and we have done a great job in two years.

"I feel really good, but it is clear that I miss Italy because home is always missing."

Asked about the prospect of coaching the Italy national team, he added: "It is still early and [Cesare] Prandelli is doing well."
