Come si dice "Whoops" in Italiano? Ah...."Merda."
>> Tuesday
Roberto Mancini was named Italy's top coach for last season today. Last year, Mancini led Inter to a 25-3-10 record. Good enough for their third Serie A title in a row. Mancini led Inter to all three titles; their first since 1989.
Despite all the honors, not good enough. Mancini was fired by Inter earlier this year.
Merda.

"Roberto Mancini was named Italy's top coach for last season today."
Muhfucka, that coulda been phrased mo' clearly.
Also, where were you when this happened in a sport I care about? This happened two years ago with Joe Girardi.
Did the Yankees win three World Series in a row two years ago? Had they not won anything in 20 years untill everything changed under Girardi?
Apples and oranges my friend.
As for the clearness of my first sentence, I speak-a-da.....how do you sayyyyyyy.....de broken English.
The Yankees? Do you seriously not know who Joe Girardi managed when he won the manager of the year award? Fucking A, Sever.
Matt, I probably couldn't even tell you who won coach of the year two years ago in a league or conference I actually follow more than baseball.
Anyway three Serie A titles is hardly equivalent to a World Series title. One means you're the best soccer team in Italy, the other means you're generally regarded the best baseball team in the world.
Didn't we have a conversation on this point a few years ago that ended in beer cans being thrown at each other?
It probably ended with Iain punching someone/thing/Poethig.
I'm guessing the conclusion was that soccer with its record-based system is a meritocracy whereas baseball with its short playoff series is a luckritocracy. I'll say that again: luckritocracy.
Oh wait... How could I forget the classic Sever diatribe, "It's not a WORLD Series if you're only playing clubs from your own country."
Either way, I'm not so much bothered by the wording of the first sentence as I am by the cliched Donald Trump photo.
