Best of luck, Mancio!

 

[satubito]

Wants Murillo, Brozovic, and Ranocchia at Zenit.....

 

[Batman]

Apparently he wants Brozo and Ranocchia according to Pedulla (dont know how reliable is this guy). Anyways he can have Nagatomo as a gift, buy two get one.

Edit:

Goddamn it satubito :fffuuu:

 

[TheNetworkZ]

I will reinstate his legend status if he takes Ranocchia away from us

 

[M.Adnan]

He can take all of his garbage players for free. Add his other player glassboy Ansaldi too.

 

[Quantum]

Well, if there's one thing he's good at it is getting players to join him after he gives them a phone call. I fully expect Medel's cell phone to ring with Mancini convincing him to fly to Russia in full Manchurian Candidate style.

Mancini isn't exactly a tactical mastermind (as witnessed by our "attack" last year ), but he definitely has some qualities that make him a good manager. For instance, he easily ran the best dressing room of any manager we have had since Mourinho. I could be mistaken, but he's the only manager we had where the time he was in charge we didn't hear about cliques and divisions. Mancini also has a pretty decent grasp of transfers. I think if he stuck around we wouldn't have blown our load on Barbosa.

I think it's silly to write off his managerial successes as lucky. Fact of the matter is a coach is only as good as his players. We can romanticize this all we want, but if you gave Mourinho or Pep Pescara's squad, they would be hard pressed to avoid relegation. Some managers have the ability to bring out the best in their players, but some players don't have the best to give. Mancini did a pretty decent job developing Icardi. Icardi was even more static under Mazzarri.

Long story short, I don't think he's some world class manager, but it's not like he belongs at Chievo.

Of course he doesn't. Fiorentina or Lazio are his level.

So Inter are beneath him

This shouldn't give Mancini any credit. I don't think that any coach would permit blowing our load on Barbosa, including Mancini's three successors who made him eat the bench.

 

[Pimpin]

Its kidnd of hard to have bad transfers when you buy nothing but established stars lol

 

[Hasan]

So Inter are beneath him

Only in organizational sense, but that will change with Sabatini and hopefully Oriali. We still have more fans than those two combined on our home games.

 

[.h.]

mancini about to do inter a solid as an apology

 

[Adriano@10]

How were there no cliques when mancini was in charge? There we re reports if the asado clan even back then and people we re coplaning about it.

Don't understand what Zenit are smoking here.Lucescu is a proven manager in Eastern Europe.Sure it was a slow start but i am sure this season would have been even better.To go from one of the best Eastern Euro manager to Mancini is very strange.It is not like Mancio set the Turkish league on fire [Lucescu did at both Gala and Besiktas].Very strange decision.

He did set Juve on fire when he was at Turkish League.
