Mancini up for England job?

By Football Italia staff

Inter Coach Roberto Mancini is among the candidates for the position of England manager, claim Italian reports.

Roy Hodgson resigned after crashing out of the Euro 2016 Round of 16 to Iceland, though his contract was due to expire anyway.

Current Under-21 international boss Gareth Southgate turned down the chance to step up to the senior post.

According to SportMediaset, one of the contenders for the role is Mancini.

He won the Premier League and FA Cup at Manchester City before being fired in 2013.

He went on to spells at Galatasaray and Inter, but is under contract with the Nerazzurri until June 2017.

Mancini would be the second Italian to be in charge of the England team after Fabio Capello.
