Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has called his fellow manager Arsene Wenger ‘stupid’ over his Champions League claims.
After Arsenal were eliminated by Bayern Munich last week, Wenger slaimed that his side had been given a ‘massive wake-up call’ from its previous poor performances.
“Last year Chelsea won it and this year English football has three teams in the quarter-finals of the Europa League,” Mancini said.
“For three or four years English teams have won, or been to the final. For one year, other teams have done it.
“When I read this thing about English football being down I thought it was stupid.
“It is impossible to win every year. This reaction is like Italy where if you win one game you are the best team and if you don’t it is a disaster.
“This is football. If every year the same teams win, football would be like other things.
“Football is good for this. Every year things can change.”
Manicini’s side were eliminated long before all this and they did not even play the Rounds of 16.

Mancini is the stupid one got a squad as big as that still get knocked out at group stage
Mancini is totaly rong for calling wenger stupid,mancini teams is still better than arsenal but arsenal still to 16round of the the champions league,if we can see mancini is more useless than wenger?
mancini is the most stupid manager av ever seen. i pray man u wins the leageu. just everton alone will finish them,
i Agree with mancini wenger are STUPID the reason of stupid as below.
1. Sell top player every season and buy cheap player.
2. A.Wenger only like to buy French player not other player form different country.
3. STUPID because tactical playing game are same ,Passing , passing and passing …so when are you going to score like HENRY season.
4. Arsenal today as ACADEMY FOOTBALL how and when to keep good player.
5.Wenger are stupid because 7 years not having any glory beside that he sell RVP to man utd after fail to build good team new season .
If manager fail to deliver the success and keep Board more money and not spending the manager are stupid .
Yes Arsenal in last 16 but we are in the weaker group but where are we now in EPL compare to MAN CITY???/
Is* Learn how to speak english you look like a fucking idiot.
think again dude,
wenger bought 2 spanish, 1 german player and even the french one was top scorer in french league, he is adapting to epl fast.
arsenal sold RVP because of rvp attitude and negetive environment due to his forcing way out.. and was the only way and even make 24 mill to use it for cazorla
i think henry/adebayor/rvp were all bought cheap…isnt it…they left because of there greedyness…
even after spending 500 mill in last 4 yrs man city just 9 points in front that too with 4 tough fixture for them in line njoy…loser
I think Mancini is right. I don’t like him or Man City but he is absolutely right in everything he said this time.
Read what Mancine said: He never said Arsene is stupid henceforth there is no debate.
Exactly. Saying a person did or said something stupid doesn’t imply that THEY are stupid.
Point a finger at someone four fingers of the same hand are asking you the same question. Mancini looks more of a mug than Wenger,look at how much he has spent & can’t get the best out of super stars he bought. A good example is nasri, adebayor, bollatelli to mention but a few. shut and win against everton who has team costing as much as aguero. lol
mancini is totaly rong for colling wenger stupid i believe he s stupid.
I Don’t blame Mancini cause they give him chance to coach a lazy team like his present team but for sure every one knows that this season English football is not at it best so don’t blame Mr.wenger just improve your team
No where in Mancini’s quote does he say wenger is stupid. He says one of wenger’s comments is stupid. Please learn to interpret english before opening your mouth. Stupid author.
