Roberto Mancini is used to making history
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Roberto Mancini is one of the important figures behind Italy’s success in winning the 2020 European Cup. Since long ago, the 56 year old man is used to being part of history.
Roberto Mancini was appointed coach of Italy in mid-May 2018. The former Manchester City coach is expected to restore Gli Azzurri’s long lost glory.
Apparently, the Italian football federation’s decision to appoint Mancini proved right. Under the tutelage of Mancini, Italy became a difficult team to beat. From 37 matches, Italy has only lost twice. The remainder is 28 wins and seven draws.
Now, Mancini has began to bring Italy to the championship podium. Giorgio Chiellini and his team mates defeated England in the top match of the 2020 European Cup.
With that success, Mancini became the first coach to lead Italy to the European Cup after the last time 53 years ago. Mancini is also included in the history books.
Glancing at his career as a player or coach, the man who has the characteristic side-part hair style is indeed used to making history. Mancini became a thirst quencher for the club title he was defending.
The first story was engraved when Mancini was still defending Sampdoria. Mancini was a figure who played an important role in Sampdoria’s first Scudetto in the 1990-1991 season. In fact, to date, it is the only Serie A title that has ever been achieved by Il Samp.
Next, when he was still a player, Mancini brought Lazio to end the long wait for the Scudetto.
Mancini led Lazio to Serie A champions in the 1999-2000 season, having last won the trophy in 1973-1974. That means, there is a 26 year wait.
Mancini’s shine did not fade when he switched professions to become a tactician. Mancio brought Inter to be the best in Serie A after 17 years of fasting. Mancini ended the long wait in the 2005-2006 season. In fact, the next two seasons, Mancini successfully defended the title with Inter.
Mancini made history again when he got behind the wheel of Manchester City. Dramatically, The Citizens won the 2011-2012 Premier League trophy. The last time Man City won the title was in the 1967-1968 season or 45 years earlier.
Not surprisingly, Roberto Mancini deserves the nickname the carver of history. As if the title followed where Mancini stepped.
