At last! After five months Tevez finally apologises

Carlos Tevez has finally backed down in his five-month row with Manchester City and apologised for his behaviour.

After a three-hour meeting with his representatives and City’s football administrator Brian Marwood on Tuesday night, Tevez finally agreed to release a statement at 9.30pm.
As Sportsmail revealed last week, the former City captain has also decided to drop his appeal to the Barclays Premier League against the £1.8million fine and gross misconduct charge he was hit with by the club in the New Year.
City coach Roberto Mancini was not in Tuesday's meeting but is understood to be happy with the latest developments - signed off by the club’s owners in Abu Dhabi - and will now be left to decide if and when Tevez is re-integrated into his first team squad.

Tevez's statement said: 'I wish to apologise sincerely and unreservedly to everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offence. My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City Football Club.'

Tevez was told on his return from his unauthorised three-month absence from City last week that he would need to apologise privately and publicly to Mancini if he was to have any chance of playing for the club again.
City also released a statement, which read: 'Carlos Tevez has today apologised to all concerned for his recent conduct. Carlos returned to the football club last Tuesday, following a three-month absence from duties, without permission.
'Carlos has also withdrawn his appeal against the club's finding of gross misconduct which was due to be heard by a Premier League panel in the coming days. He has since begun a training programme designed to return him to optimum fitness.'

Although Tuesday night's statement doesn’t mention his coach by name, Mancini has told club officials he is satisfied. The two men - yet to meet since Tevez’s return last week - are expected to sit down together in the coming days.

Mancini is open-minded about playing the South American again but resentment between the two sides still lingers and it seems City would need to suffer a crisis of form or fitness for Tevez to be considered for a game.

After enduring an up and down relationship with his coach last season, things came to a head for Tevez last September with a disagreement on the bench during a Champions League game at Bayern Munich.
After being banished to train on his own in November, Tevez left for South America without permission and only returned at the start of this month after proposed moves to the two Milan clubs collapsed.
