Barcelona hitman Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that he believes former Inter coach Roberto Mancini is the right person for Manchester City.

Mancini was appointed last week to the position, replacing Mark Hughes as manager of the Citizens.

"I think that City has understood that they cannot become Barcelona or Inter overnight," the Swedish international told People as quoted by Corriere Dello Sport. "A lot of time is needed, but also the right man at the helm.

"'Mancio' will change the mentality of the club because he is a great coach, and the players will realise it soon enough.

"Only the great coaches are able to guide the great players.

"If they see a weak boss, who has never managed a top club, they can take advantage of him.

"It has nothing to with not respecting Mark Hughes, but City needed a coach that knows how to turn a team into a great one," concluded Ibrahimovic.
