Mancini hangs over the abyss after Wembley embarrassment
Wigan clinched their first ever major trophy with a shock win in the FA
Cup final on Saturday - a result that leaves Roberto Mancini clinging
onto his Manchester City job for dear life.
The Italian watched as his side failed to spark at Wembley Stadium and eventually succumbed to a Ben Watson header in stoppage time.
All the talk prior to the game was centred around rumours of an agreement for Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini to replace Mancini.
And the defeat to Wigan - coupled with City's tame defence of their Premier League title - will not have helped the Italian's cause.
Ferguson overshadows FA Cup final
The news of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement has dominated the headlines this week but in case you had forgotten, there's an FA Cup final being played at Wembley on Saturday.
Manchester City are strong favourites as they take on Wigan Athletic, who are also fighting for their Premier League survival.
Several reports also suggest Roberto Mancini is battling to save his job with Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini being tipped to replace the Italian at the Etihad Stadium this summer.
