Carlos Tevez has been permanently stripped of the Manchester City captaincy by manager Roberto Mancini.
The Argentine striker spent pre-season searching in vain for a new club and has been replaced as skipper by defender Vincent Kompany.
Mancini said: "Carlos wanted to leave for family reasons. I respected his opinion but Carlos is still here because we didn't find a solution.
"I decided in the summer that Vinnie [Kompany] was the captain."

Does it cover his horrific neck?Zzonked wrote:Tbh it's been pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be the captain for this season for a long time. The website has hinted that Kompany is the new permanent captain a few times.
Tevez has a beard now. That's not related, I just wanted to say it.

Probably not.
I also heard he's starting today, interested to see how he does.
