Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has distanced himself from the club's long-running financial case, saying questions over alleged irregularities in his contract are a matter for the club rather than him.
Mancini was responding to reports that an independent commission had found Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations.
The Premier League had not officially announced the commission's findings or any punishment at the time of Mancini's comments.
The Italian managed City from 2009 to 2013, winning the FA Cup and guiding the club to its first English top-flight title in 44 years.
Some of the allegations against City relate to claims that the club failed to provide accurate financial information concerning player and manager payments over a nine-season period beginning in 2009.
Asked about reports concerning his contract and an alleged double agreement, Mancini said the issue did not concern him.
“It's not an issue that concerns me. It's nothing new because this matter has been discussed for the last four or five years,” Mancini told reporters ahead of Italy's UEFA Nations League match in Turkey.
“Manchester City has not been found guilty, and the alleged double contract is not my concern. It's their issue, not mine.”
City have consistently denied the allegations.
Club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has also said he remains confident that City will establish their innocence.
The club could appeal against any punishment eventually imposed, although no sanction had been formally announced.
Potential penalties reported in connection with the case include a points deduction, expulsion from the Premier League or a financial penalty.
Mancini's four-year spell at City ended in 2013, after he had led the club to major domestic honours including the 2012 Premier League title.
