Chelsea hero Vialli hails Italian managers in Premier League

Chelsea legend Gianluca Vialli has saluted the Italian managers working in England.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini faces Juventus this week in the Europa League.

Vialli told Tuttosport: "Among the top five teams in the league, three are coached by Italians - Chelsea by Ancelotti, City by Mancini and WBA by Roberto Di Matteo. The other two are coached by a Scot and a Frenchman.

"We are not bad at the job. And I also think that thanks to us, the old stereotype of the Latin player being a diver has been dispelled. We have demonstrated professionalism and creativity."
