Inter Milan No2 Sylvinho: Mancini among best coaches in world

Inter Milan assistant coach Sylvinho believes they can challenge for the Scudetto.

The Brazilian is happy to be working with coach Roberto Mancini.

“Mancini is one of the best tacticians in the world, as Roberto likes his teams to play good football and keep possession. We're working on that in this pre-season camp too. I like that attitude of building from the back. Roberto loves football and wants to win with style.

“I've been fortunate in my career, as I've worked with Coaches like Frank Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger. You can't get better than that. I took something from all of them, but it's impossible to make comparisons or put them in order.

“Mancini is a winner and I am sure he won't fail at Inter this time round either. We're still missing something in the squad, but the directors are doing a great job and I'm sure someone else will arrive.

“I think we can win the Scudetto and hope to do well in the Coppa Italia too," continued Sylvinho. “I expect a great campaign, especially as we've already laid the foundations in recent months."
