Roberto Mancini

[I'mNewHere]

Great coach, fak Suning pieces of shits

Congratulations to Mancini! I am happy that Italy deservedly won the tournament. I think the best part is the manner in which Mancini has changed the mindset of the Nazionale in the sense of bringing young players through and playing to win games. The likes of Bastoni will undoubtedly get their chance in the not too distant future.

 

[Alex de Large]

I wouldn't want him at Inter anyways. He is more Spalletti than Conte.

Only ever cheering for Mancini for Italy and even there I must ask why are certain individuals playing and especially why others are not?

I don't think he'll change his team, depends on the injuries, but otherwise the same squad is going to the world cup. I don't agree with some of his choices but he has a EURO trophy and I don't, so I'll shut up.

 

[Mr-Intermilan]

after 25 years he brought the Italian cup to inter
and now after almost 51 years he brought back the europian cup to italy

Didn't know he had it in him. Good attacking football.

He was like that in his first year with Inter and with his previous clubs. Don't know what exactly happened then that he changed his style to a more defensive approach.

His Inter at his first year were making tons of chances but failed to score, and then the opponent made two chances and scored two! That was an awkward season overall with all those draws, but although that team had no problem making chances they had a problem with converting them. And the backline was nicking goals pretty easyily. I think that might be a deciding factor for the way Mancini changed his approach since then.

If my memory serve me correctly there was a a bit tension between Mancini and Fontana back then when Mancini was critical of the GKs for conceding way too many goals and then Alberto Fontana striked back with saying that his Lazio was also conceding many goals.

Mancini didn't join Inter as a defensive coach, he was the total opposite. But some things changed his mind over 1 or 2 years.

Yeah, maybe but I was too young to fully grasp tactics and coaching during Mancini's first year, so I can't really comment on it. But his coaching philosophy with Italy seemed entirely different to the last stint he had with us.

Roberto Mancini became a "defensive" coach in 2007-8 and he relied on Ibrahimovic to win games after kinda losing the locker room due to the 2006-7 failure in CL.
He was mostly fielding 7-8 defensive minded players, 6 of which offered close to nothing going forward that season.

Last memories tend to overshadow the early ones. In 2006-7 we were one of the strongest attacks in Europe. Except in Europe
In his second stint, the team lacked identity and depth. He tried to go for a 4-2-3-1 that relied on attacking football but needed a DM to make it work (enter Kodngobia) as the Jovetic, Ljajic, Perisic, Icardi quartet was adequate to make a solid offensive line. His idea was to be an attacking team there, but the execution was ba as a lot of things didn't work out.
I trust that if he had remained after that first Suning summer we'd see something much different from him, closer to how Italy was playing.

 

[Il Drago]

He's definitely rebuilt his career so fast. Should he leave the Italia job after the WC I'm sure he'll find a spot at a big club again.

He has signed an extension till 2026 so he's staying with NT for a while.

 

[Abu Bader]

Is this forum finally team Mancini? I like this

I've always been in team Mancini. One of the best manager out there for sure

 

[brehme1989]

Is it too early to bait with the Mancini vs Conte discussion?

It has to be Mancini now.

No matter what we think, Mancini is a legend. He has earned the title with his bare hands. First by winning everything there is to win in Italy with three Serie A, four Coppa Italia with three different clubs and two Supercoppa. Then proceeding to do the same in EPL by making champions of Manchester freaking Shitty. And now he has made Italy the European Champions for only the second time in history, more than half a century after the first. Which has instantly immortalized him.

This is a resume any beginning coach would sign for beforehand, yet Mancini still has decades left in the tank. I don't think Roberto Mancini gives two shit about what any critic or hater thinks of him. I think he prints their forum posts and uses them to wipe his asscheeks or sneeze his nose.

Mancini not giving a shit about what people think of him was also a theme of his playing years. He has always had an abrasive you can love me or hate me character. I loved him in his first stint at Inter and was disappointed how he resigned after our elimination from the Champions League and then tried to backtrack. Regarding his second stint, I really disliked how he left Inter at the beginning of the season but as they years have passed, he has consolidated himself as a top coach.

Prior to Italy winning the Euros, I wandered whether Conte possibly had his eye on the National Team. He never hid how much he loved coaching the Nazionale nor his desire to once again be appointed as its coach.

I doubt this tbh.

Even though both the Italy NT and Inter were entering into similar periods of rebuilding, we know that the expectations and pressures are different. Namely, they're unfair and unrealistic here. Maybe if Mancini had taken over a Fiorentina or Lazio he would apply a similar philosophy of "positive" football with technical young players, but never at Inter. Let's not forget he was deadset on a fucking 33 year old Yaya Toure.

I think Mancini with his Euro Cup win surpassed all currently active italian managers.

Yaya would've added so much to inter and brought winning mentality with him. I honestly belive of Sunning had granted Mancini his wish to bring Yaya instead of wasting 90m on gabi goal and joao mario we could've won the league sooner. Maybe not that season but the season after.
