2012–13 Manchester City F.C. season

The 2012–13 season was Manchester City Football Club's 111th season of competitive football, 84th season in the top flight of English football and 16th season in the Premier League.[1] City began the season as defending champions, having won the league in 2011–12. The club also played in the UEFA Champions League for the third time and the second since the competition was rebranded in 1992. However, with little success in the aforementioned competitions, the highlight of the season was City reaching the FA Cup final, the tenth in their history. After beating Chelsea 2–1 at Wembley Stadium on 14 April 2013 in the semi-finals, the Blues played against Wigan Athletic in the final on 11 May 2013. In an anticlimactic match, Manchester City were shut down by relegated Wigan and lost 0–1 due to a late goal. On 13 May 2013, Roberto Mancini was sacked as City manager following three-and-a-half years in the role.

  • Away: The away kit was officially called "zinfandel", an attractive shade of maroon with golden trimmings.
  • Third: The third kit was black with shadow stripes and sky blue accents.
  • Keeper: The three goalkeeper kits were green, purple and yellow.
