Edin Dzeko reveals reason for leaving Man City and expresses 'no regret' over decision
29.01.2022 - 18:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Edin Dzeko has revealed a falling out with Manuel Pellegrini led to his exit from Manchester City in 2015.
The striker played as back-up to Sergio Aguero for much of his time at the Etihad, but still managed to return a credible scoring record, with 72 goals in 189 appearances.
Dzeko helped City to two Premier League titles, and FA Cup and a League Cup before he decided to move to Roma in 2015, initially on loan before making the deal permanent the following summer.

“I didn't manage to win only a trophy in Roma, but it was a wonderful six years. A few ups and downs for me and Roma, but I carry that club in my heart. I'm at Inter now and I want a Scudetto.”

It wasn’t the first time a move to Inter had been touted, with now-Tottenham boss Antonio Conte a big fan of his, having also tried to secure him during his time in charge of Chelsea.
“He wanted me, but I was not sure about returning to England,” Dzeko said on Conte's interest.
