Ex-Man City boss Mancini puts hand up for Portugal job

Former Inter Milan and Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is keen on the Portugal job.

Portugal are seeking a new coach after sacking Paulo Bento last week.

"I am still a young Coach with a long career in front of me and a lot to learn," Mancini told Record.

"I like to experience different adventures. I've already worked in England and Turkey, while returning to Italy is an option, but I prefer to try new things.

"Would I go to Portugal? Of course. You know more than me that Portugal has always boasted high quality football full of class and talent, producing some of the best players in the world. The Portuguese clubs have also impressed in Europe.

"Would I be the Portugal Coach? It would be fantastic, because they are one of the most talented sides in European football and any Coach would love that job.

"If Portugal were to ask? It would be an honour."
