Carlos Tevez leaves the stadium the UEFA Champions League group A match between FC Bayern Muenchen and Manchester City at Allianz Arena on September 27, 2011 in Munich, Germany. |
Argentine forward Carlos Tevez "is finished" as a Manchester City player after he refused to come on as a substitute during the 2-0 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League, manager Roberto Mancini has said.
Mancini wanted to bring on substitute Tevez with 35 minutes left in an attempt to claw back a 2-0 deficit. But the 27-year-old forward refused.
"He refused to warm up and again refused to go on the pitch. If a player has a lot of money to play for Manchester City ... he can't play, never," said Mancini.
TV pictures showed Tevez shrugging and shaking his head when one of City's coaching staff spoke to him on the bench.
Mancini went as far as to suggest Tevez, who left Manchester United for City in 2009, will not play for the club again. Mancini said: "If I have my way he will be out of the club.''
