Roberto Mancini at Inter and was glad to make his
move to Real Madrid in August.
Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic claims he did not feel
wanted by coach Roberto Mancini at Inter.
Croatia international Kovacic moved from Inter to Estadio
Santiago Bernabeu in August, having only joined Inter in
January 2013.
Mancini returned for his second spell as Inter coach in
November last year but, despite being one of the star
performers at the San Siro, Kovacic told Sportske Novosti that
his relationship with the former Manchester City boss was
distant.
"I am not sure, did Mancini want me in Inter or not?" he said.
"We had no relationship; not good, not bad. I don't know what
he thought and in the end I was glad to leave because I don't
know what would have happened to me.
"Mancini never told me anything. In fact, he did, when I was
leaving, he told me he was sorry that I am going. But, honestly, I
never saw or felt that while I was in Inter."
Kovacic also took exception to being moved around and played
in a variety of positions for Inter, stating his preference for a
central midfield role.
"I prefer playing as a holding midfielder," he said. "I've played
offensive midfielder, left winger, but that was not bad, now I
know how to play that too.
"But, I believe Inter made a mistake with me moving me and
changing my natural position."
