Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has concerns over his job future.

The Mail on Sunday says Mancini privately fears he will be sacked if Manchester City fail to win the Premier League, despite an upbeat public pronouncement last night that he is 'confident' he will still be in charge next season.

Last night, Mancini chose his words carefully about his future.

"At the moment I am concentrating on the last four games and after this we can talk about the future.

"I am confident that I will continue to do this job next year. I don't think we have any problems because I think we have done a good job and we still have to play another four games."
