The football player history explains it all?

Might be. Roberto Mancini was a professional football player in Serie A. He played for Bologna, Sampdoria, Lazio and even Leicester City. Mancini also wore the International shirt on 36 occasions. He retired from the English club basically and the athlete switched career paths and became a manager at Fiorentina.

As a manager, Mancini won several Coppa Italia titles with his 3 Italian clubs and he also won Serie A 3 times with Inter. In the years when Juventus were in the lower divisions and no other real challengers were playing in Serie A. He went on to Manchester City where he luckily won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
