Mancini to Juventus speculation

[Andouble]

so who do you guys want if Mancini goes back to Italy and Mourinho either stays at Inter or goes to Madrid?

I'd prefer it not to be someone like Guus who is 108 years old and wouldn't be here for more than a year or two

 

[bluemanc]

As long as we get 4th i'm not arsed what he does,if he does go by whichever way it will be interesting to see who gets the blame for his appointment.

We will never be "fcuked" whether Mancini goes or Mourinho doesn't come, we have the best owner in world football, he will make sure we're sorted!<br /><br />-- Fri Apr 02, 2010 5:08 pm --<br /><br />Latest article was printed 20 mins ago, not sure if already posted....


Manchester City Boss Roberto Mancini Talks Up Possibility Of Juventus Move
Italian believes a return to his homeland could be on horizon...

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has left the door open to a return to Italian football with Juventus.

The Italian has only been in charge of City since December, but could see his employment terminated if he fails to deliver Champions League football to Eastlands at the end of the season. City are currently fifth in the Premier League, two points behind Tottenham Hotspur.

Last month Mancini was linked with a return to Italy with Juventus — who will appoint a new manager in the summer — after being spotted in the stands for the Old Lady's Europa League clash with Fulham. And the 45-year-old admits a return to his homeland will happen eventually.

"I'm ready to go back, if and when there will be a possibility," Mancini said, according to Sky Sports.

"As for Juventus - Juve is always Juve. They are going through a difficult period right now but we are talking about a club with history and prestige, made up of many victories.

"How near I am to a return to Italy I don't know, football is strange. It was probably right for me to broaden my horizons, but I will return sooner or later."

Mancini's history with Inter — Juve's biggest rivals, and where he won three league titles — is considered a major reason why the move will not happen. But Mancini does not see why that has to be the case.

"I am considered an enemy for my past at Inter," he said.

"But I want to reiterate that controversies of the past were personal and related to certain individuals.

"I have said many times that I was a Juventus fan when I was a child."

For now, the former Italian international is enjoying life in English football.

"Living in England is fascinating, I discover a new world every day," he said.

"Sure, I'd bring the Premier League post-match ritual of a bottle of wine back to Italy. The coaches meet for a drink and talk about football, while players gather with family and eat together.

"There are no grudges - the referee's whistle ends every dispute and every rivalry."

He is angling for that juve job imo

He either knows he on his way out or he's not settled.

I agree he's really fluttering his eyelashes at juve, why would he say what he's said if he knew he was staying?

 

[supercity36]

i seriously reckon mancini wants that job. maybe the shiekh has told him there are limited funds, considering he's already spent about 200m on players

 

[PistonBlue]

He admits he's a childhood Juve fan, so of course he'd welcome the chance to manage them.

I just get the feeling this was all written in the script. Jose is coming and Mancini was only ever a seat warmer. We'll see.

 

[Forzacitizens]

wtf? i am the only one who thinks this is a bit weird and worrying? Mancini says 'im ready to go back to italy' whilst were trying to get into the top 4, in one of the most important periods of our clubs history....

not if he was only a stop gap....the strange thing is the club keeping it under wraps

i dunno shady, im just sick of all this off field drama, every day there is something new. We should just be concentrating on getting 4th imo

 

[shadygiz]

i agree....but if he is only a stop gap then he needs to get the word out now ready for summer, and what better way than to use the press....although i would have thought any deal to be done would already be well on it's way, so he would gain nothing from talking to the press at the same time as holding a contract offer in his hand

could be the case. The only thing i wonder about is the importance of this 4th position. If we don't get it, and we have a deal with jose, does that become null and void? therefore, we will remain with Mancini for another year. The whole thing seems complicated to me.

 

[scorer]

It will be a very sad day if we were to lose the services of Mancini.

I would much prefer to stick with Mancini ahead of getting Mourinho.

If lose Mancini we'll be potless again next year, guaranteed. If we keep him I feel he will have had enough time in the job to make sensible acquistions through the summer and enhance our chances of getting a trophy... significantly.

Dont go Mancini, stick with us and ignore the people on here that want you out.

Which wouldn't have been the case if he'd not broadcast to the world we were going to spend 100's of millions & pay the biggest wages.

Good post.......I agree 100%, but it won't be posters on here who decide his future......

Fully agree but it would be nice if he was given as much time and money as Hughes and a chance.... he will get a feeling of not being welcome which will only make him think F**k you and look to move which is not a healthy position.

 

[robbieh]

Laurent Blanc may well be the next manager of Juve. He is very hot property after doing so well at Bordeaux. Apparently he met club officials 2 days ago.

Today Moratti, Inter president, said Mourinho going nowhere as he has 2 years left on his contract.

So whatever else that suggests it seems that absolutely nothing has been agreed with JM re City and RM is certainly not nailed on at Juve.

Although I can fully agree with the sentiments, I would pick you up on the 'potless again next year' comment. I honestly believe that Mancini will us something next year if he is here but I also believe that Mourinho would win us a trophy if he came. I am happy with either of them tbh but I concur on the statement that Mancini should be allowed to get on with it without the fans constantly deriding him...

 

[bluebean]

im happy either way! but i just feel theres no smoke without fire, and the signs suggest jose could be on his way!!
