Tevez swung his arms at the Manchester City boss who poured out
a stream of insults at his skipper during Sunday's clash with
Newcastle.
Mancini was heard screaming: "Go **** your mother" before
ordering the striker to shut up because he was the boss. The row
erupted at half-time during City's 2-1 win at Eastlands.
City boss Mancini was furious at his team's performance but
Tevez began to complain that the side was not set up properly and
were playing too defensively.
Mancini then made the mother insult and Argentina star Tevez
leapt up and confronted his boss, who in turn charged towards the
player.
City team-mates and staff grappled to keep the pair from
thumping one another. After Tevez, 26, was forced to sit back down
Mancini continued to lay into the players. The Italian then stormed
out of the dressing room into the tunnel.
Tevez followed and later they shook hands after the player was
subbed.
