Roberto Mancini Rejected Manchester United Coaching Role
-
Roberto Mancini rejected the chance to join Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant.
The former Inter coach was approached by the Red Devils, who had plans to offer him a role at Old Trafford. However, 'Mancio', rather surprisingly, said no thank you.
"Manchester United contacted him [Mancini] some time ago to make him Ferguson's assistant, but he refused," Mancini's agent Giorgio De Giorgis told Udineseblog.it.
Mancini has been out of a job ever since the Nerazzurri sacked him last year. The former Sampdoria striker recently stated his ambition to return to the bench. De Giorgis has backed the claims, but he was keen to underline that his client wants to work abroad.
"I am certain that Mancini will return to coaching, but his preference would be away from Italy," added the agent.
"He has shown that he can do the job as his teams have always won."
Some critics have put the sword into Jose Mourinho, claiming he is doing no better than Mancini did at San Siro. De Giorgis was eager to remind everyone of the Jesi-born tactician's illustrious past.
"Mourinho is great from a media point of view, but he has won less than Roberto on the pitch. Mancini has plenty of trophies in his cabinet," concluded De Giorgis. -
He obviously does'nt wanna play second fiddle even if it is to SAF
