Coco blasts City rumours
Francesco Coco insists his attitude did not curtail his trial at Manchester City.
Francesco Coco has angrily rejected reports suggesting a poor attitude was the reason for Manchester City cutting short his trial last week.Internazionale defender Coco linked up with City last week for a trial as he tried to secure a move to Eastlands.
However, City cut short the loan of the former Italian international after only two days.
Reports had suggested City decided to abort his trial spell because of his attitude, but Coco has moved to refute the rumours.
"It's an incredible lie," Coco told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I am a serious professional, educated and respectful with others."
Coco claimed football reasons were the main reason why the trial spell at City did not work out.
"I left Manchester on good terms with the coach (Stuart Pearce).
"When they told me that City could use my services, I asked Inter's permission to travel to England for a couple of days.
"It didn't work out because the coach wanted to use me in a different position to what I am used to, full-back.
"After two days we realised that there was no point in wasting time as they already have two players in my position."
