MotoGP: Valentino Rossi plays down new manager rumours

Valentino Rossi says he does not need a personal manager
Valentino Rossi has denied speculation he is looking to install current Fiat Yamaha team boss Davide Brivio to manage his personal affairs.
Rossi split with long-term manager Gibo Badioli and his Great White London Management Company after the 29-year-old became embroiled in a multi-million pound tax investigation last August.
Valentino Rossi recently agreed a settlement of £26m with Italy’s tax authorities but has denied that his close relationship with Davide Brivio will see the Fiat Yamaha boss become his personal manager.
Rossi told MCN: “Davide and all the Yamaha team really help me to organise a lot.
“They help me speaking to journalists, to organise the travel, and a lot of other things.
“But I don’t have a manager and I don’t need a manager.”
