Mancini takes Italy hot seat

A press conference has been called tomorrow at midday, where the presentation will be made formal.

Mancini is perhaps best known for his exploits in England, where he won the Premier League with Manchester City to end their long drought thanks to Sergio Aguero's last minute goal. 

He took over at Manchester City after winning three Serie A titles with Inter, and had a distinguished playing career, making over 500 Serie A appearances. 

It is the first foray into international management for the man from Jesi in the region of Marche, who will now take the reigns in charge of the country of his birth. 

Italy have been without a manager since their failure to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, and it will be up to Mancini to lead the four-time winners back to those loft heights.
