Win % 59.16. HONOURS FA Cup 2011 | Premier League 2012 | Community Shield 2012 Affectionately known as ‘Bobby Manc’, he will always be loved by fans for bringing success back to <strong>the</strong> Club. He was <strong>the</strong> manager that started <strong>the</strong> upward trajectory for <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>decade</strong>. Under his stewardship, a winning culture was instilled at <strong>the</strong> Club. This took Manchester City from a mid-table club to <strong>the</strong> top level <strong>of</strong> English football, combining defensive solidity with attacking flair. In <strong>the</strong> 2011 season – his first full season at Manchester City – Mancini guided <strong>the</strong> Club to Champions League football and <strong>the</strong> FA Cup, <strong>the</strong> Club's first major trophy in 35 years. In 2012, he led Manchester City to <strong>the</strong> Club's first League title in 44 years in an enthralling last day <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> season, winning 3-2 (with two goals in injury time). This game is known as ‘<strong>the</strong> best match, on <strong>the</strong> best last day, <strong>of</strong> a season in English football history’. Mancini placed great emphasis on building from <strong>the</strong> back. Stressing <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> not conceding a goal meant <strong>the</strong> team always had an opportunity to win. He even said, “I like 1-0 wins.”
