VIDEO: Roberto Mancini rolls back the years with deft training ground chip

Simon Lloyd

As Manchester City supporters digested the news of the managerial changes that lie ahead for their club, one of their former bosses was giving a master class in the art of chipping a goalkeeper.

These days, Roberto Mancini is back in his second spell as manager of Inter Milan, having left the Etihad Stadium in 2013.

After a disappointing 3-0 defeat in the Milan derby, Mancini was seen taking an active part in the club’s training session on Tuesday.

As the ball breaks for the 51-year-old, he instinctively chips the ball over the stranded goalkeeper’s head.
