Manchester City's new boss says he is keen to end the club's 33-year wait for major silverware after taking charge at Eastlands.
The 45-year-old led Inter Milan to three league titles ending the Italian side's long barren spell and said: "I hope history repeats itself.
"Manchester is similar to Milan in its football passion," the Italian told the club website.
"I am proud to get the job because City is a good club with good players."
Mancini, who replaces Mark Hughes as City boss, guided Inter Milan, who had not won the Serie A title since 1989, to three successive league titles, two Italian Cups and two Italian Super Cups.
City's last trophy, aside from triumphs outside of the top flight, was the League Cup in 1976, with their last league title coming in 1968.
Former City striker Brian Kidd will join Mancini as his assistant, while he will add former England fitness coach Ivan Carminati, coach Fausto Salsano and goalkeeping specialist Massimo Battara to his staff soon.
"I know Brian, he is a boss in English football," said Mancini.
"I know his record as a top player for City, Everton and United. He was a striker, I was a striker; we share the same football philosophy. He has also has great coaching experience. I am sure we will gel very well." Source: BBC
