Why Oh Why Has Mancini Recruited David Platt?
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has recruited his former team-mate David Platt who, as from 1st July 2010 became City’s first-team coach. Chadderton-born Platt, who began his career at Manchester United and is known to have been a fan of the Old Trafford club told the official MCFC website… ‘Obviously Roberto was a major factor in me coming here – I’ve known him for 16 years and he was instrumental in taking me to Sampdoria.’ ‘When the phone call came it wasn’t a difficult decision – I’m joining a club with great resources, a good strategy and good project to really challenge for things, coupled with a manager who I’ve got a great deal of respect for.’ Platt, 44, who has been out of football since losing his job as England Under-21 boss in 2004 continued… ‘I had an opportunity to go back into management at a lower level and you think long and hard. But when you’re at big games the adrenalin kicks in, you want to be a part of it.’ Platt, who had a nightmare as Nottingham Forest
