Perfect results so far in their group. Young team.
Mancini doing a good job, even if the teams are not huge in the group.

That is why Germany will be back soon, as they have Flick, who is a top manager. He will form a great team pretty quickly.It isn't really that surprising, while Mancini is probably declining, he still once managed at a level 99% of current international coaches won't sniff during their careers. Out of this current crop it seems to me there is a grand total of two coaches that would have a chance of getting a good club job and those two are Mancini and Luis Enrique (another coach whose team is deemed to have to an extent overachieved).
Mancini's done exceptionally well considering an injury to one of his key players, a woeful talisman, and coming up against very good Spanish and Belgian sides, as well as an England side that had a vastly superior squad and home advantage. This was Southgates competition to lose, and England's route to the final was in spite of him IMO. Swap the coaches and would have been a different story.People attacking Southgate and praising Mancini just cause one won on pens against the other here.
Italy done well, but they needed pens twice to win. I feel it is less of a masterplan and more that Donarumma is bloody good.

Yeah obviously. Add France and Zidane if someone there has the guts to get rid of Deschamps, a proven club coach willing to work in an NT is probably worth his weight in gold nowadays.That is why Germany will be back soon, as they have Flick, who is a top manager.

34. That’s what makes his work impressive in addition to the trophy.Isn't that now 31 unbeaten matches. Massive turn around and easily the best team in the euros.
Played some great football as well.
Cheers. Really impressive also there was tiny amount of Italians there as well.34. That’s what makes his work impressive in addition to the trophy.
Absolutely.You have to give him credit. I think if anything today the substitutions really showed the limitations of his squad. He had to use them but they got worse as they took some of their better players off and England started to regain some composure after a dreadful second half. Just shows how well he's drilled his players when you look at the potential Southgate had to call upon in comparison. They also used their midfield 3s very well throughout the tournament, the way they protected their aging defence proactively was very interesting.
Got schooled by Luis Enrique in the semi's so no thanks.If it goes belly up for Ole next season would you like Mancini in. Had the Italian team play some nice football in the euros, enjoyed their games.
You aren't testing that defence with hoofball to Kane.Absolutely.
The Italy squad and bench were much weaker than England's. And if you think about how old Chiellini and Bonucci were, it's shocking they weren't tested and torn apart by one of the richest attacking squad in national football. Instead all of England's most meaningful attacks came from the flanks and crosses.
Yup, teams like France and England messing about with substandard coaches are going to be in for a rude awakening.That is why Germany will be back soon, as they have Flick, who is a top manager. He will form a great team pretty quickly.
