Wayne Bridge reckons with Roberto Mancini after England went bankrupt against Italy. According to his own statement, the ex-ManCity professional hates the Azzurri coach.
Former Premier League pro Wayne Bridge leaves no good hair on Azzurri coach Roberto Mancini after the Three Lions’ defeat in the European Championship final against Italy. “It really hurt me because I hate Mancini. Everyone knows I didn’t like him,” said the 40-year-old at bettingexpert addressed to the final bankruptcy.
Bridge moved from Chelsea to Manchester City in early 2009, where Mancini succeeded then coach Mark Hughes a few months later. “I wouldn’t say he’s the worst I’ve ever had, but tactically he’s not that good. But what he did was good, what hurts to say,” said the former England international.

Bridge said: “I had an argument with him. I was there for a few months and we got along well, but I didn’t like the training at all.” A year after Mancini took office, Bridge moved to West Ham United on loan. After further guest appearances in Sunderland and Brighton, he finally left City in 2013 for Reading.
Mancini, meanwhile, celebrated the first Premier League title in club history with the Citizens in 2012. Bridge, however, questions the Italian’s share of the championship.
“Great credit for what he did at Manchester City when he won the league. City fans will love him for that, but if you look at the players and the squad he had, they won, not him as a coach, “said the former left-back.
