Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed he wants to stay at the club for "three or four" more years.<br /><br />The Italian, whose existing contract runs until 2013, led the club to FA Cup success last season, their first major trophy in 35 years.<br /><br />And with his side currently top of the Premier League, Mancini said: "I would like to stay - I think Manchester City is one of the world's best clubs."<br /><br />However, he added that he has yet to discuss a new deal.<br /><br />His case, though, will undoubtedly have been strengthened by an unbeaten start to the league season that has seen them establish a two-point lead having won seven of their opening eight games, scoring 27 times in the process.<br /><br />Their domestic form has been in contrast to a debut Champions League campaign in which they drew their opening Group A game at home against Napoli before losing 2-0 against Bayern Munich in Germany, a match overshadowed by Mancini's row with Carlos Tevez after the striker apparently refused to come on as substitute.<br /><br />But on Tuesday, City face Spanish club Villarreal at Etihad stadium with Mancini believing that a win could still set City on course to top the group.<br /><br />Mancini, 46, who replaced Mark Hughes as Blues boss in December 2009, said: "It's not important if we play well or not, it is important we win this game. If we win I think we can also win the group - its possible, we have a chance.<br /><br />"Villarreal are a good team, they are used to playing in the Champions League for many years."<br /><br />/football on Youtube brings you the latest football news, transfer rumours and footballing gossip from the English Premier League and European Champions League.
