Tevez defies Man City boss Mancini AGAIN over Argentina return

Carlos Tevez has reportedly defied Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini AGAIN!

The Daily Mail says Tevez faces a new disciplinary charge from Manchester City after defying Mancini again and flying home to Argentina without permission.

Tevez has chosen not to dispute his punishment for allegedly refusing to play against Bayern Munich in September and looks set to be fined a further two weeks' wages unless he turns up for training at 10.30 on Wednesday morning.

Tevez's representatives asked City's temporary chief executive John McBeath at the weekend if the 27-year-old could spend a week in Argentina but the request was denied as manager Mancini wanted him to continue working on his fitness.

Tevez then asked Mancini's assistant Fausto Salsano on Monday and was again turned down after the second request had been relayed to the City manager.

However, it appears Tevez ignored these instructions and flew to South America anyway. On arriving at Buenos Aires airport with his daughter Florencia, Tevez said only: "I am here to get some rest."
