The unsettled star taunted Mancini after the City chief admitted he was so frustrated with the French ace he wanted to punch him.
Nasri said: “If he wants to hit me then he should hit me.”
He then stuck the knife in by declaring that his former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is “the greatest coach I ever worked with”.
Nasri’s fury was sparked after he starred in Saturday’s 4-0 demolition of Newcastle. He has rarely played so well since his £24million move.
And Mancini said: “I’d like to give him a punch. A player like him should play like this every game.”
Nasri has scored just once in 21 league appearances this season.
