The former head coach of the Italian national team believes that the fans and the press are unfair to him.
Roberto Mancini did not like the reaction of the fans and the press to his decision to leave the Italian national team. The former head coach of the Azzurra Squadra said that he received a lot of negative feedback on his decision, that he did not deserve his job.
The specialist explained – he left the national team, because the time for it had come.
“I didn’t run away and I didn’t kill anyone. I don’t think I deserve all the dirt that was poured on me. I deserve respect. And Saudi Arabia has nothing to do with it. I have absolutely nothing there.
I have two and a half years left on my contract, but I’m thinking of leaving in a few months. Maybe it’s time to leave, because things have changed, there have been situations that show that everything will end.
I don’t think I killed or disrespected anyone. I didn’t kill anyone. I am sad to read and hear about myself. I hope I can stay because I enjoyed working with the Italian national team. But when the situation changes and you understand it’s time to leave, you have to choose the right time,” Mancini said in an interview with Corriere dello Sport.
We remind, earlier it became known that the Italian national team decided on a new head coach.
