Fun in the sun: Roberto Mancini and his wife Federica enjoy a holiday in Sardinia He made a splash in England because of his attachment to a little blue and white striped scarf, but Roberto Mancini had no need for such comforts in the scorching Italian seaside heat this week.
The Manchester City manager has returned to his homeland to enjoy his summer break while many of those he works with in the north-west of England have jetted to South Africa for the World Cup.
Tan-tastic: Federica has obviously enjoyed a fair chunk of beach time already this yearMancini was joined by his wife Federica, who clearly wasn't on her first tanning mission of the year, on the island of Sardinia. Temperatures have been approaching the high-20s on the island.
The former Italy international footballer is hardly in need of the colour himself, although he does have the time to waste having failed to guide his team into the lucrative Champions League.
Stay in shape: Roberto was an international footballer, and still looks as fit as he was in his heydayUnlike most football managers, though, Mancini has maintained the athletic shape that helped him reach the very top of his profession.
The silver fox looked suave and sophisticated in a smart pair of blue trunks while stunningly brown Federica covered her modesty with a brown two-piece.
