Roberto Manchini,one of the most talented players of his age, Mancini debuted in Italian Serie A for Bologna on September 12, 1981. The following year he was bought by Sampdoria, for which he played until 1997. Later he played for Lazio (1997–2000) and Leicester City (2001).

With Sampdoria, he formed a dynamic strike partnership with Gianluca Vialli, and led the club to its only scudetto in 1991, four Coppa Italias (1985, 1988, 1989 and 1994) and a Cup Winners’ Cup in 1990. He also lost the final of the 1991–992 European Cup against Barcelona. With Lazio he won his second scudetto (2000) and Cup Winners’ Cup titles (1999) as well as two more Coppa Italias (1998 and 2000).

FC Internazionale Milano coach Roberto Mancini will stay on next season after discussions with president Massimo Moratti, reversing the surprise announcement of his decision to step down at the end of the campaign.

Mancini told a press conference after last night’s UEFA Champions League exit by Liverpool FC that his fourth season with Inter would be his last, despite a contract running until 2012. However, Moratti revealed on Wednesday evening: “I had a talk with Mancini, and he told me he wants to stay at Inter next season and for the length of his contract. He wants to win the Champions League with Inter next season. The situation is completely different to the one that was recounted to me and to the team this morning.”
