Mancini Nails Guardiola! You Can't Succeed With A Middle-Table Club

Pep has been lucky to coach the best clubs in the world with the best of legs and in return he has picked up many laurels. Several people have debated this issue raised by Mancini. Mancini has helped to put the fallen Inter Milan back to line, Mourinho lifted a treble with Porto and won the Champions league with Inter after 38 years, Ranieri is doing it with Leicester City and Mancini has questioned Pep. 

Well respected four four two magazine recently rated Mourinho has the best all time coach thereby over looking Guardiola who has been privileged to coach well baked teams. Will Guardiola take a challenge? Well, it seems like a no because he had the opportunity to take Man United, Man City and Chelsea but he opted to run to Germany to play in a one team dominated league where his team buys the best players from sides that contend with them.

Pep can prove Mancini wrong by taking up a mid-table club but we certainly know he won't do that. What Mancini wanted to say is simple, Mr Pep we won't rate you on top until you prove to us that you can make an ordinary team a top class team like Jose did to Chelsea...... chikena. Read the full story after the cut.

Mancini Praises Inter Milan After Win

Inter coach Roberto Mancini is adamant that his side fully deserved their desperately late 1-0 win over Atalanta on Sunday, declaring it a "wonderful" Serie A season opener.

I Was Jealous Of Jose Mourinho - Roberto Mancini

Roberto Mancini admits he was jealous of Jose Mourinho winning the treble with Inter and concedes it was a “daft” decision to rejoin the Serie A club for a second spell.

Despite winning three consecutive league titles in his first stint at San Siro, the Italian was sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho in the summer of 2008.

The Portuguese subsequently steered the Nerazurri to glory in Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League during a historic 2009-10 campaign and Mancini has confessed that Mourinho's success grated with him.

The 49-year-old was appointed Fatih Terim's successor back in October and signed a three-year-deal upon his arrival in Istanbul.

Galatasaray Were "Very, Very Bad" Against Chelsea Says Roberto Mancini

Roberto Mancini labelled Galatasaray's showing in their 2-0 Champions League last-16 defeat at Chelsea on Tuesday as "very, very bad".

After drawing the first leg 1-1 in Turkey, the Istanbul club knew they had to score at least once to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals, but they put in a limp display at Stamford Bridge.

Even striker Didier Drogba, the subject of much of the talk in the build-up ahead of his return to his former club, failed to cause any problems for the home defence as first-half goals from Samuel Eto'o and Gary Cahill saw Chelsea through 3-1 on aggregate.

ROBERTO MANCINI: Jose Mourinho Is Not My Friend

Roberto Mancini says he and Jose Mourinho are not close and claimed that the Chelsea manager does not even like having friends.

The Italian stoked the flames ahead of Galatasaray's Champions League first-leg tie with Chelsea last month by saying that he built the Inter team that won the treble under Mourinho in 2009-10.

But the former Manchester City boss insisted that they were fair comments and that Mourinho took them to heart as Chelsea and Mancini's Galatasaray prepare to clash again in the return game at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday with the last-16 tie finely balanced at 1-1.

"I know Chelsea very well. For us it will be a very difficult game because Chelsea are used to playing these important games but we want to play a good game if it’s possible," he told Keys and Gray.

ROBERTO MANCINI: Manchester City Building On My Laid Foundation

Galatasaray manager Roberto Mancini says he has no bitterness towards his former club Manchester City and believes their success this season is partly due to the foundations he laid during his three-year tenure at the club.

Mancini was sacked at the end of last season despite taking City to their first major honours in three decades with an FA Cup victory in 2011 and the English Premier League title the following year.

In an interview with the BBC's World Service he also said that his former rivals Manchester United needed to restructure their declining squad if they are to compete for the title.
