Tevez warned Man City captaincy under threat

Carlos Tevez has been warned his Manchester City captaincy is under threat.

The News of the World says Tevez has been told to resume his English lessons if he wants to retain the captain's armband at Manchester City.

Roberto Mancini's decision to appoint Tevez as skipper ahead of Kolo Toure raised eyebrows in the Eastlands dressing room.

The Argentina striker speaks only broken English despite arriving in the Premier League four years ago. He was learning the language alongside compatriot Pablo Zabaleta and Brazilian Robinho last year but only Zabaleta saw the course through.
