Mancini's Manchester City could not even score, in the FA Cup final, against a team that will probably be relegated from the Premier League.
So, no trophies for Mancini this year. And City owners are surely running out of patience for the Italian coach.
Last year, they were lucky to win the title. But they did win. They won the league title. That was huge.
Since then, Mancini made absolutely no good investments.
Among City's worst performances, losing at home to Man. U., just when they needed to win most, in the fall, was another point in their campaign when maybe Mancini needed to be fired.
But they stuck with him.
Just a few days ago, they eliminated Chelsea in the semifinals.
Surely, Wigan, in the final, would be a lot easier, everybody must have been saying.
But no! Somehow, the Manchester City squad managed to find another way to screw up an important match this season.
And in injury time, too!
So, next year, a team from the second English division might be playing in the Europa League. (Not good for England's UEFA coefficient.)
