Book description
From the author of the bestselling Messi and Ronaldo, a revealing
and very readable biography of the Manchester City manager. When
Roberto Mancini was appointed to Manchester City in late 2009, he came
from his native Italy with an almost peerless cup-winning pedigree at
both Lazio and Inter Milan. In his first full season at City, Mancini
guided the club to Champions League football and the FA Cup, shaping
the squad into one of the most successful teams in the Premier League.
Luca Caioli gives Mancini's inside story Â- from his early days as an
international player to his emergence as a charismatic, if
controversial, pitch-side leader. The book contains exclusive personal
interviews with Roberto himself, alongside recollections from star
players and colleagues like Javier Zannetti, Sergio Aguero and Arrigo
Sacchi, unveiling the life of one of the modern game's great managers.
Luca Caioli is a renowned Italian sports journalist who crafted his
reputation at L'Unita, Il Manifesto, La Repubblica, La Gazzetta dello
Sporti and Rai 3 in Italy and ITV in Britain.
