Roberto Mancini - next Italy manager

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Congratulations to Bobby Manc. Hopefully he can help get Italy back on their feet.

Super Mario on speed dial

Constant failure in Europe, a humiliating FA Cup Final defeat, numerous sackings (I’ve not bothered checking what happened in Russia) and awful man management skills including the Tevez and Balotelli car crashes.

He’s a deeply arrogant man and won’t last with the pressure cooker job of managing his country. To see numerous Blues with no interest in England wishing Italy well is sickening. And that comes from a Wales fan.

You need to have a lie-down.

Hi Chappy

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I love Mancini, but his record in cups isn't the best. Definitely more of a league manager.

Good luck to him, wish him nothing but success. I would assume that means Balotelli will be back in the Italy squad then.

I wouldn’t bank on that.

Good luck to Roberto if he takes the job.

 

[Bpughh]

think he'll make a good international manager :)

Me too.

He's with them just long enough to motivate them and not piss them off!

Mario will be better than Neymar in 2 years time.

He left 5 seasons ago and we've won a total of 3 knock out ties since then, so maybe the issue runs deeper than the manager. What's more important is he is the manager who got us there to begin with and completely changed the mentality of the club. He seemingly got more out of Balotelli than anyone else has managed and Tevez has a league title and FA Cup from his time under Mancini. The players and whoever decided to sack him the night before the FA Cup final were the reason we lost, not him.

The only reason I can think that someone would not remember him fondly would be if they were related to Mark Hughes. Did you say you were a Wales fan?

We’ve won more than three knock out ties since Bobby left.

Or do you mean three knock out competitions?
