When Roberto Mancini made his mark on Leicester! The Italian preached the importance of team spirit during his loan spell at the Foxes in 2001... 20 years later his passionate team stand in the way of England's shot at glory

Roberto Mancini is recognised in the Premier League for turning Manchester City into major trophy winners yet he was making his mark on English football more than a decade earlier.

The Italy coach is the main obstacle standing between England and their greatest moment since 1966 after rebuilding the national side from the ruins of November 2017, when they failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

If Italy do lift the trophy on Sunday, though, City are not the only club who will be pleased for Mancini.
