Manchester City boss
Roberto Mancini says
Carlos Tevez is remaining as
club captain.
Tevez led the team for the first time in the friendly win over
Spanish side Valencia and did so
again at White Hart Lane in the opening Premier League draw against
Spurs.
“We have Carlos, Kolo and Gareth Barry who would all make good
captains of the side, there were other choices too,” Mancini told
City's website.
"It will encourage him to express himself more and I think it
can improve the team. He leads by example on the pitch but also in
the training ground every day.
“I understand what importance is placed on the captain in
England because it is the same in Italy though often the armband is
given to the longest serving player.”
Tevez added: “I thank the manager for the opportunity.
"I am looking forward to a big season and we should get better
and better as we get to know one another.”
