<h2>Early Life and Background</h2>
<p>Roberto Mancini was born in 1964 in the small town of Jesi, Italy. He was raised in the mountainous region of Roccadaspide by his parents, Marianna and Aldo Mancini, alongside his younger sister, Stephanie. His childhood was strongly influenced by football and religion. In addition to serving as an altar boy, he began playing football at a young age for the local club Aurora Calcio.</p>

<h2>Playing Career</h2>
<p>Mancini established himself as a deep-lying forward and is best known for his long tenure with Sampdoria. Over the course of 15 years, he played more than 550 matches for the club, winning the Serie A title, the European Cup Winners’ Cup, and four Coppa Italia trophies. His skill, vision, and leadership on the pitch made him one of the standout Italian forwards of his era.</p>

<p>Internationally, Mancini earned 36 caps for the Italian national team. He participated in UEFA Euro 1988 and the 1990 FIFA World Cup, reaching the semi-finals in both tournaments. Despite strong performances, he never claimed a major international title during his playing career.</p>

<h2>Final Playing Years and Transition to Coaching</h2>
<p>In 1997, after 15 seasons with Sampdoria, Mancini transferred to Lazio. At Lazio, he added another Serie A title to his achievements, along with the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and additional Coppa Italia titles. As he approached the end of his playing career, he became closely involved in team strategies and tactics, often leading team talks during half-time. He also served as an assistant to <a href="/biography/sven-goran-eriksson">Sven-Göran Eriksson</a> at Lazio, setting the stage for his future managerial path.</p>

<h2>Coaching Beginnings and Challenges</h2>
<p>Mancini’s first role as a head coach came at Fiorentina in 2001, just days after ending his playing career. He accepted the job at the age of 35. Despite financial instability within the club, he managed to guide Fiorentina to a Coppa Italia victory before departing due to the club’s bankruptcy.</p>

<p>He was soon appointed as manager of Lazio, but once again faced financial constraints. Despite being forced to offload key players, Mancini led the team to a Coppa Italia triumph during his two-year spell in Rome.</p>

<h2>Success at Internazionale</h2>
<p>In 2004, Mancini took charge of Inter Milan, one of Italy’s most prestigious clubs. With better financial resources at his disposal, he led the team through a remarkably successful period. Under his management, Inter won three consecutive Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies. Mancini also set an Italian record of 17 consecutive league wins and established a club-record unbeaten run that lasted nearly half a season.</p>

<p>Despite these accomplishments, his inability to secure a UEFA Champions League title led to criticism. In 2008, following Inter’s elimination from the Champions League and internal disagreements, Mancini was relieved of his duties. Nonetheless, his tenure is regarded as one of the most successful in Inter's recent history, making him the club's most accomplished manager in over three decades.</p>

<h2>Personal Life and Legacy</h2>
<p>Roberto Mancini has been married to Federica Mancini for more than 28 years. Together, they have three children—two sons and a daughter. His sons have followed in his footsteps and played within Inter Milan’s youth ranks. True to his roots, Mancini continues to attend mass regularly with his family.</p>

<p>Known for his tactical intelligence and leadership both on and off the field, Mancini is also one of the highest-paid managers in Serie A history, with reports indicating a salary of approximately £4 million per season during some of his coaching tenures. As of recent estimates, his net worth stands at around $28 million. He maintains an active presence on social media, particularly on Twitter under the handle @robymancio.</p>
