Real Madrid (1996-97, 2006-07) – Two La Liga titles in the two years he was afforded. Roma (1999-2004) – a League title and an Italian Super Cup. Juventus (2004-06) – Two Scudetti that were later marred by the Calciopoli scandal. England (2007- ) – Qualification for the 2010 World Cup made to look embarrassingly easy.

Roberto Mancini said he wanted to work in England and, after he was overlooked in favour of Carlo Ancelotti for the Chelsea job, here he is at Manchester City.

Italy boss Marcello Lippi insists the title race is still open despite the fact Inter went eight points clear at the top of Serie A on Sunday. Many pundits feel next weekend's encounter between Inter and Juventus could actually decide the 2009-10 season even though it's only three months old.
