'I am happy at Zenit' - Roberto Mancini not thinking about Italy job

The former Inter and Man City boss has no plans to leave the Russian giants amid links to the Italy vacancy

Could Roberto Mancini replace Gian Piero Ventura as Italy head coach? The Zenit boss insisted he is happy in Russia.

Ventura, 69, was sacked by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

Former Manchester City and Inter tactician Mancini – who won the Premier League and Serie A having earned 36 international caps for Italy – has emerged as one of the candidates to fill the void, along with countrymen Carlo Ancelotti, Fabio Capello and Fabio Cannavaro.
