Bianchi moves to City
Afp, Manchester
Sven-Goran Eriksson made his first signing as manager of Manchester City on Friday when Reggina striker Rolando Bianchi joined the former England coach at Eastlands. The Italian has moved for an undisclosed fee which the Serie A club had previously claimed to be 8.8 million pounds (18 million dollars). Bianchi, 24 was the fourth highest scorer in Serie A last season with 18 goals, helping to keep Reggina in the top flight. City, under former boss Stuart Pearce - now in charge of the England Under-21 side, finished just four points above the relegation zone last season in 14th place in the 20-team Premiership.
