Roberto Mancini is unsure if he will still be in charge of Manchester City at the end of this season.

The Daily Mail says Mancini is not convinced that his spell as Manchester City manager will stretch beyond the summer.

Sources say the 45-year-old is unsure whether City will retain him next season.

Mancini has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at City but there is believed to be a 'break clause' in it that would enable either party to walk away at the end of the current campaign.

"Mancini is not sure what the picture will be in the summer so he is not taking anything for granted," a source in Italy revealed last night.

"He has said there is no way he is going to move his whole life over to England for something that, for all he knows, may last only a few months.

"He already thinks he would like to stay but at the moment he is not really looking that far beyond the summer."

Mancini has been staying in the Lowry Hotel in Manchester city centre in recent days and is expected to remain there for the time being before renting an apartment.

Even when he does that, though, his wife will not join him. Mancini also has two sons but both are involved in youth football in Italy.
