Carlos Tevez hopeful of working with Roberto Mancini next season

Manchester City's star striker Carlos Tevez is hopeful of working with club's coach Roberto Mancini next season.

The relationship between the City coach and Tevez has come under the spotlight since the Argentinean reportedly complained about the training regime last month.

"Of course I would really like him to continue here. I would like all of us to stay and continue with this ambitious project which we have started," Tevez said.

"The manager has given me the continuity that every player needs to produce his best. He helped me recover my confidence," said Tevez, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

"Thanks to the coach and my team-mates, things have worked well for me this season and it's the reason I have achieved such a high level, The Sun quoted him, as saying.

Tevez would love to break through the 30-goal barrier tonight while pushing City into the top four of the Premier League.

"We are a team that is growing together. We are happy with what we've done so far but we know this is our greatest challenge. Now the last part comes, we know it will be tough but we'll try hard. We are very confident," he said.
