Roberto Mancini will remain Manchester City manager for "many years", says club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
City's hopes of finishing fourth in the Premier League ended with Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Tottenham, who can now qualify for the Champions League.
But speculation that Mancini's job was under threat has been dismissed by the City chairman.
"Roberto's going to do a wonderful job for us for many years," Mubarak told Manchester City's official website.
Mancini is a great coach and great man...he did very well at Inter, i'm shure next year M. city will be in Champions League.
