Roberto Mancini enjoyed a Q&A VIP dinner at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday evening.

The sold out event, sponsored by Vita Student - the UK’s leading provider of luxury student accommodation - to mark the launch of their £25m project in Manchester.

With Sky Sports' James Cooper hosting, the guests were treated to a rare personal audience with the manager who enjoyed fielding questions about his career, time at City and his affection for his adopted home city.

With all 120 places snapped up, more than £2,000 was raised for CITC on an enjoyable evening for all concerned.

The next in the series of ‘An evening with…’ events will be with former City legend Paul Dickov and ex-City and Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann, followed by a four-course meal on Thursday 31 January.
