Tevez has publicly stated that he is unhappy with Mancini’s coaching methods at Eastlands.
Mancini has now told the Argentine that he can leave the club if he is unhappy.
Mancini told The Guardian, when asked about Tevez: “I don’t know. Tevez has four years left on his contract. But I don’t know. If he’s not happy, it would be better [for him] to change squads.
“If a top player is not happy to stay here, then it’s better for him to go to another team.”
Mancini continued: “I’ve spoken to Tevez. What we said was private but I did remind him that there had been only one time when he had to train twice in a day.We have trained twice four times in the five months I have been here. On two of those times Carlos was in Argentina and one time he was here but didn’t train. So I don’t know why [he’s unhappy]. When we don’t have a midweek game I always train two times on Tuesday because it’s the only way I know.”
Mancini added: “It’s important that when a manager or player works in a team, he must be happy. If he’s not, it’s not good for the club, for the squad, or for the player. This is not just for Tevez but for all the players; for Tevez, for Manu [Emmanuel Adebayor], for me, for everyone.
“I don’t know if Carlos Tevez is unhappy. He must be content, though, because we have to play three important games. For the players it is a crucial moment. They must put everything they have on the pitch.”
