Roberto Mancini still waiting for managerial opportunity after Leicester link
Wednesday 1 March 2017 08:55, UK
Roberto Mancini is still surprised at Claudio Ranieri's exit from Leicester City as he plots his return to management.
Mancini is currently appearing on Italy's version of Dancing With The Stars and was quickly linked with the vacancy at the King Power Stadium when Ranieri was sacked last week.
The former Manchester City manager has been out of work since his departure from Inter Milan in August but Sky Sports News HQ reported last week that he had no desire to talk to Leicester.
And he said links with other jobs, including Arsenal and Juventus, were nothing more than paper talk.
On Ranieri's departure, he told Sky in Italy: "I was surprised because what he did was unthinkable, it won't happen again in the next 1000 years.
"Leicester had the quality to save it, but we have to understand what else has gone on there."
But Mancini said nothing had yet been decided about his future, despite links with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
"Those questions were written so many months, but there is nothing for now," he added.
"There is nothing concrete, when an opportunity comes up I will evaluate it. I like to do new experiences - such as the one I had at Galatasaray."
