MILAN — Roberto Mancini says he never thought he would return to Inter Milan and vows to work hard to recreate the glory days of his first spell in charge.
Inter reappointed Mancini yesterday (Nov 14), hours after firing Walter Mazzarri following a poor run of results.
“I never thought I would return ... but I think it can be another nice story. I believe in this project,” Mancini said at his unveiling today.
Before the press conference Mancini held up an Inter shirt with his name on and the number 226 — the number of matches he was in charge of between 2004-2008.
Mancini spent four years at the San Siro, winning two Italian Cups and three straight league titles, although one was awarded after Juventus was stripped for match-fixing. AP
