Last year was a good year for aptronyms in soccer, because not only did we have Arsene Wenger managing Arsenal, but Roberto Mancini managing Manchester City ("Man City").

It's worth noting that his name is pronounced "man-CHEE-nee", not "man-SEE-nee" (or at least that's how they pronounced it when I would watch the games last year).

Yes, but visually it works out. Though not as well as the TV graphic that reads, "Arsene Wenger: Arsenal Manager". That one is outright uncanny at a glance.
