Serie A giants Juventus were said to be interested in hiring Roberto Mancini as their next manager. They were considering him when Tiago Motta, their head at the time, was let go. This never happened, instead Igor Tudor took charge. Juventus is said to still be keen on him as one for in the future.
His former clubs Inter and Leicester are also looking to recruit a new manager this summer. It will be interesting to see what comes next for the prominent footballing profile.
Leicester are a club that in the past had a good path with Italian manager appointments. Enzo Maresca and Claudio Ranieri both made their solid mark as managers at this football club.
The connection with Leicester is long gone. Playing for the club while they were still at the old ground Filbert Street makes some good memories. He left after just 4 games to start his first role as manager with Fiorentina.
❗️Juve still like Roberto Mancini, who in March was close to taking over from Thiago Motta. With great interest, Chiellini will follow Simone Inzaghi’s situation. If Inzaghi decides not to stay at Inter, he would try for him. Pioli remains in the background. (@CorSport) pic.twitter.com/PUjSFhMF63
