Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini insists they're serious about winning the Coppa Italia.

Inter meet Sampdoria in the Coppa tonight.

"The Coppa Italia is still an important trophy and if we can win it then that's always better," Mancio told Inter Channel.

"The Coppa tends to be snubbed by certain teams early on, as there are more important tournaments, but at the end of the day it is still silverware and winning is always a pleasure."
