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

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

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

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.
