Mancini committed to Italy despite reported Premier League interest

Italy boss Roberto Mancini insists he is not interested in returning to club football before his work with the Azzurri is complete.

Mancini has also coached teams such as Lazio, Inter, Galatasaray and Zenit, and he took on the Italy job in 2018 with the national team at a low ebb.
