Mancini excited about seeing old Man City pupil Tevez

New Galatasaray manager Roberto Mancini is looking forward to going up against Carlos Tevez in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The former Manchester City boss will take charge of the Turkish club for the first time when they head to Juventus to meet Tevez and the Old Lady of Turin and he is eagerly anticipating the contest.

"I'm delighted to meet Tevez again after three months. We've always had an extraordinary relationship, winning three trophies together at Manchester City," said Mancini.

"He's a great player and I don't think he'll pass up on this game just because of an ankle niggle."
