Video: Inter Milan players pull a cheeky prank on birthday boy boss Roberto Mancini

Someone's going to be doing extra laps...

Ben Kenyon

Roberto Mancini turned 51 this week.

The venerable Inter Milan boss probably thought after 30-odd years in football, and at his age, he might escape birthday tom-foolery.

The silver-haired Italian was dead wrong. As he took training Felipe Melo and Fredy Guarin snook off to get a big pile of flour – we presume it’s flour anyway – from a training bag.

The two Inter stars then sneaked up on their boss and covered the poor guy in it.

They’re probably still out there doing those extra laps around the training field now.
