Mancini questions London Stadium atmosphere

Speaking to Italian daily newspaper La Stampa this week, Mancini has commented on the atmosphere at the London Stadium after attending last Wednesday’s match when Manchester City put four past West Ham.

 ‘I believe in the Juventus Stadium effect – the stadium gives Juventus seven or eight points more a season. You want to know what happened at West Ham? The new Olympic Stadium does not have the same atmosphere as Upton Park. There there was a different atmosphere, more noise. I realised this a few days ago when I went to see the match against Manchester City.’

Asked when he would return to management  ‘When will I go back to coaching? I can wait a little longer! But the theory is true that after so many years of work then you become tired and want to do nothing.As soon as I left Inter I had three offers from China, I thanked them but I postponed the matter, now I’m more attracted to other leagues, especially the Premier League.’
