Roberto Mancini clarifies his role after visiting Sampdoria\u2019s training ground, jokes about his next job and leaves the door open for Italy. \u2018It was my best experience.\u2019<\/p>\n

The coach is currently a free agent after his contract with the Saudi Arabia national team was cut short by mutual consent.<\/p>\n

There were reports he would become the new technical director of Sampdoria, joining former teammates Alberico Evani as coach, with Attilio Lombardo as assistant manager.<\/p>\n

However, his son Andrea Mancini has instead taken the role, with Roberto Mancini visiting the Bogliasco training ground today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not have any role with the club, absolutely not,\u201d he assured TG1.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just that Samp is something special for me, so during their moment of difficulty, I came here. I know the President, we speak often, so if I can give some advice, then I\u2019m ready for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mancini wore the Sampdoria jersey for 15 years in his playing career, where he was part of the Goal Twins with Gianluca Vialli.<\/p>\n

It is suggested he wanted to be only an unofficial consultant for Samp because he could therefore be free to sign on as a coach for a different club, with links pointing him towards Roma for next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day people say I am sitting on a different bench, one day here, the other over there, another up, then down. It\u2019s a bit like in politics,\u201d laughed Mancini.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many important teams in Europe. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

The greatest achievement of his coaching career was to win EURO 2020 for Italy, but he surprised many by walking away and taking the Saudi job instead.<\/p>\n

He was replaced by Luciano Spalletti, who is having mixed results.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Nazionale is a very good team. They are all mainly players who made their debut with me and I am sure they will do well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Mancini ever return to the Italy job after deciding to leave?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my best experience ever. Winning with the national team is something totally different, so who knows? You can never tell.\u201d<\/p>\n
