The phase diagram for doped manganites and related compounds is analyzed in terms of the Kondo-lattice model taking into account an interplay between electrons localized due to lattice distortions and those in the band states. It is shown that the number of itinerant charge carriers can be significantly lower than that implied by the doping level. The competition between the homogeneous (ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic) and phase-separated states is discussed and a strong tendency to the phase separation was revealed for a wide doping range.
