WATCH: Roberto Mancini came up with a Cantona-esque chip in Inter training

Bellissimo

We’re surprised that nobody came in with a deadline day bid for the young, up-and-coming forward named Roberto Mancini.

The Inter manager proved that he could likely do a job up front for most sides with a deft finish during a Tuesday training session.

Mancini, 51, was enjoying a kickabout with his players when he turned on the edge of the box and chipped the ball over his goalkeeper and into the top corner.

Look familiar?

Inter are currently sat in fourth place in the Serie A table, having most recently been hammered 3-0 by arch-rivals AC Milan.

Mauro Icardi missed a penalty during Sunday night’s defeat and, judging by Mancini’s showings on the training pitch, perhaps Icardi could learn a thing or two from his manager.
