I don't get where people are coming from when thinking that Mancini taking the NT job is only one sided, meaning that if the FA want him he'll immediately jump on it. Did he ever state that he'd like to try it one day? Hinted at it? Ran naked (with only a scarf) one night intoxicated screaming he's fabulous and perfect to lead this shit Italian team?
I'm genuinely asking because I don't think I've ever read or heard him mention something about it, he might've breezed through it one time like every other manager would and said it'll be an honour but when I think about it, a coach of his characteristics would suck balls managing at knock out format tournaments, plus the pool of which he chooses his players from is vastly smaller and not having the luxury of spending an adequate time with the - club owned - players in training and what not, then again that probably is a good thing if they are to achieve anything of note.
