Manuel Pellegrini expected to 'win every competition' as Manchester City manager, says chairman Obviously, you would get the same answer from most people, but I am saying it with confidence. We have won the Premier League before, we know what it takes to win it and we will win it again. We have won the FA cup before and we can do that again. In Europe, we have not been as successful in the Champions League and there is no doubt we have a lot of improvement to make there. But with the squad, the organisation, the manager coming in and the new players we will sign, we will have a strong team to compete in the Champions League. This club is about winning championships. It is why Sheikh Mansour is here, it is why I am here and it is why the players are here. We want a successful club that will compete, year on year, in every competition that we play in. The decision to dismiss Mancini following the FA Cup Final defeat against Wigan was met with a lukewarm response by the club's supporters, many of whom continued to chant the Italian's name following his departure. But Al-Mubarak insists that the time had come for Mancini to go and that his replacement will be expected to hit the ground running immediately. "We all felt it was time for a change," Al-Mubarak said. Roberto did a great job for the club, winning the FA Cup and Premier League, and everybody should be deeply appreciative of that. But on reflection, I have mixed feelings about last season. There were ups and downs, to say the least. We finished second in the Premier League. That's not great, but it is an achievement. We finished second in the FA Cup, again not great, but it's good. In the Champions League, I was disappointed with our performance. After winning the Premier League, the expectation was to achieve more and move forward. That did not happen, so we must now focus on getting back on track because the club is designed to win championships. We will make new signings, absolutely, and the new manager, from day one, has a responsibility to prepare the team for next season to win every competition we play in. That is our level now and it is what we have to strive for. Al-Mubarak, who confirmed City's determination to increase the capacity of the Etihad and launch a women's team, revealed that Pablo Zabaleta and Micah Richards will soon be handed new contracts. "Zabaleta and Micah are coming soon," Al-Mubarak said. They are core members of our team, just like those who have already signed new deals - Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Gael Clichy.
