Former Inter Milan coach Giovanni Trapattoni is full of praise for Roberto Mancini.

Mancini's Inter have won the first four games of the season.

"Mancini is experienced and has many merits," said the 76-year-old.

“The difficulties he had last year are proving to be a strength. He got an idea of the squad and then asked for the players he needed on the transfer market.

“He isn't a fool, he went to Europe and expanded his knowledge.

“He has built a physical team because here, more than anywhere else, you need tough people."
