Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has said he wants Carlos Tevez "out of the club" after the striker refused to play against Bayern Munich.

With City 2-0 down with 35 minutes left, Mancini wanted to bring on Tevez in an attempt to salvage the game.

But after the striker refused to play, Mancini said: "If I have my way he will be out. He's finished with me.

"If we want to improve as a team Carlos can't play with us. With me, he is finished."

The incident in the Champions League Group A match appeared to be sparked by the substitution of striker Edin Dzeko for midfielder Nigel de Jong 10 minutes into the second half.

Dzeko showed his anger at the change, and it seemed Tevez, who was left on the bench throughout his side's Barclays Premier League win over Everton on Saturday, was unhappy he was not called on.

Minutes later Mancini wanted to put Tevez into the game, but instead there were heated discussions on the bench as the Argentine refused to warm up.

"He [Tevez] refuses to go in," Mancini said. "He refused to come on the pitch. What I said to Carlos is between me, him and the team [but] I am really disappointed because it is Carlos. I decide the changes.

"It's a bad situation - it's important for a player to help the team. [The situation] is impossible.

"I wanted to calm everything and put Carlos Tevez on the pitch.

"He [Dzeko] was disappointed but he played a bad game. It is the last time any player at this club does that.

"I wanted to keep the score down and not concede a third goal."

Mancini said a player at a top club could not "refuse to go in to help his team-mates".

"Can you imagine a Bayern Munich, Milan or Man United player doing this?" he asked.

"He refused to warm up and again refused to go on the pitch. If a player has a lot of money to play for Manchester City ... he can't [refuse to play], never.

"I think tonight we had a problem, in this game. Before, we never had a problem, we started the season very well but I can't accept one player refusing to go in.

"We will speak about this with the chairman in the next few days."

The defeat was City's second Champions League tie after their draw with Napoli.

In a brief interview with Sky Sports, Tevez, speaking through a translator, did not address his decision not to play. "I think it's Mancini's decision," Tevez said.

"I've been a professional throughout.

"I put my opinion through that I wanted to leave for family reasons and I still played my best."

City Coach David Platt said: "We are not going to lie. What happened happened.

"Roberto will sleep on it and look at it and dealt with it in the way he sees fit."

The Argentine striker spent pre-season searching in vain for a new club and earlier this month was permanently replaced as skipper by defender Vincent Kompany.
