Roberto Mancini denies falling out with Juventus striker Carlos Tevez while they were together at Manchester City.
Tevez has shone at Juve since leaving City in the summer.
Mancini remarked: "Did I have ups and downs with Tevez? No, the only downs were when he was off playing golf. Joking aside, we did clear the air straight away and he probably wanted to leave the club, but the human rapport with Tevez was always excellent.
"Carlitos can make the difference, as he fights, scores and drags the team forward. He will do very well at Juventus. As a centre-forward he is extraordinary, because he is sharper and doesn't have to track back as much. Juventus will do well with him in Europe."
