Carlos Tevez has revealed that he has a "love-hate relationship" with his Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini.

The Argentinian striker reportedly clashed with Mancini on a number of occasions last season, but Tevez has revealed that the pair share similar traits.

The 27-year-old has also insisted that he is not looking to leave the club, despite stories to the contrary.

"We had clashes with Mancini in every language but it's a love-hate relationship," he told reporters on arrival at Ezeiza airport yesterday.

"He's fantastic, he wants to win and me too. He told me to come to Buenos Aires to enjoy a holiday. He left me out of these first few [Premier League] matches because I told him I needed to get in shape.

"I'm happy at City and I'm not moving from there."

Tevez has featured in just one match for City this season, coming on as a substitute during their 3-2 victory over Bolton Wanderers.
