Mancini's relationship with England and Wembley


He will play the final of Euro 2021 in the Wembley stadium,probably with England? By the way,he seems to have a connection with England and with Wembley:

- When he was a player,in 1992,he played an hystoric Champions League final with his club,Sampdoria,against Barcelona,in the Wembley stadium. Sadly he lost,but now he can "redeem" himself.
-His last club as a player was in England,at Leicester. By the way that was an incredible season for him. It was the 2000/2001 season. He actually ended his career at Lazio in 2000,after he won the Serie A league. Then he started 2000/2001 as vice-coach of Eriksonn. Then,in January,he decides to come back to play and goes to Leicester. Then,in March,Fiorentina calls him to do the coach! He accepts and retires again as player,to do the coach. At the end of the season he even wins the League Cup,and saves Fiorentina from Serie B. What an incredible season for him that was!

By the way,also his vice-coach in the National Team,Gianluca Vialli,has a big connection to England and Wembley. He lost that 1992 final in Wembley too,and also he played and trained Chelsea for many years,before the Abramovich era.
