Roberto Mancini could soon be making a return to the English Premier League, with the former Italy national team coach reportedly being considered as a candidate to take over as Manchester United’s next head coach—should the club decide to part ways with Ruben Amorim.
According to The Sun, the 60-year-old Italian tactician has indicated to those close to him that he is open and ready to accept an offer from the Red Devils if approached by the club’s management. Adding an interesting layer to the story, Mancini shares a longstanding acquaintance with United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe. The two reside in the south of France and have frequently crossed paths at social events over the years, potentially facilitating smoother negotiations.
Mancini’s connection to English football is deep-rooted. Between 2009 and 2013, he managed Manchester City, where he famously led the club to their historic 2012 Premier League title—their first top-flight championship in over four decades. His experience and proven track record in English football could make him an attractive candidate to steady Manchester United during what has been a turbulent period.
As the club evaluates its managerial options, Mancini’s name remains one to watch closely in the ongoing search for a leader capable of restoring United’s former glory.
