Roberto Mancini wants to join London club?

Roberto Mancini has reportedly bought a house in London in the hope of landing a job in the Premier League.

The Italian was sacked as Manchester City manager last month despite leading the club to the Premier League title one year earlier.

Mancini, 48, has now purchased a property in the capital as he looks to restart his career, according to The Mirror.

Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini is expected to take over at City this summer.
