Roberto Mancini
Roberto Mancini (born November 27, 1964 in Ancona) is a Italian football (soccer) player and manager, currently the head coach of Inter Milan in Italy's Serie A.
On the club level, Mancini played for Bologna (1981-82), Sampdoria (1982-97), S.S. Lazio (1997-2000), and Leicester City (2001). With Sampdoria, he formed a dynamic partnership with Gianluca Vialli, and led the club to its only scudetto in 1991, four Coppa Italias (1985, 1988, 1989, and 1994), and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. Despite his success at club level, Mancini never became a regular for Italy. He only compiled 36 caps and scored four goals for his country.
After retiring as a player, Mancini coached Fiorentina (2001-02) and Lazio (2002-04) before moving to Inter in 2004. He won the Coppa Italia with Fiorentina in 2001 and Lazio in 2004.
