Aren't we all very very lucky to this man for our manager?
I mean, the guy is pure class, exemplary behaviour both on and off pitch, dresses well and takes good care of himself, treats fans and journalists with respect and patience.
And, as a manager there are a couple of things I'd like to high-light, and feel free to add any points if you feel there are more:
1) The way he always sweeps away non important stuff in press conferences (such as transfer rumours, supposed internal disputes and so on) , "it is not important" he says, and he is always right. Instead he talks about focus, concentration and winning mentality! The importance of working hard. Don't remember hearing such things from a previous manager.
2) He is without a shadow of a doubt, the man in charge, there can be no mistake about it. A player will never be able to intimidate Mr Mancini, that just wont happen. You will do it his way, follow his rules or you will be on your way out. That's the way it should be. And I have a feeling he is the same when speaking and negotiating with his chairman. It's his way, or no way. You have to respect that.
3) Remember how Hughes looked like when he was first interviewed together with Robinho? Well, you will never see our manager like that I'm sure of. He could be sitting besides any player(s) in the world, and he would not be star-struck, or feeling intimidated by a players potential status.
Today he was seated next to huge signing in Balotelli, or The Hammer, as he is now called I read, and when asked about how good he is or can be, his qualities, Mancini answers in a very controlled and dominant (in a good way) fashion. No big words, but instead careful and sound comments.
I think, and deeply hopes, he will be our manager for years and years to come. There is no one else I would rather have in his position and I am so grateful he chose us to work for.
Love you Mancini!!!
