Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy has played down rumours of him seeking to leave the club following the sacking of former manager Mark Hughes.

Bellamy is thought to have been unhappy with Hughes' exit, but insists that he will give his full support to new head coach Roberto Mancini.

He told the Daily Mirror: "I want to stay and I am going to stay, I am committed to that. I am committed to Manchester City.

"I have bought into the idea of where Man City is going to go and I am a huge part of where it is at this stage.

"I have no problem with Mancini. It's not his problem he's here. What happened to Mark Hughes has got nothing to do with him.

"I hope Mancini will stay for a long time because I am from the mould of thinking stability is the key to success.

"I hope he gets a number of years to do it and, as long as I last, I will give my all for him."
