Italy CT Roberto Mancini denied he has received any official offers and will ‘remain with the national team at least until Qatar 2022’.

The FIGC President Gabriele Gravina revealed Mancini’s contract extension could be announced ahead of Euro 2020 this summer, as Italy currently prepare for the Finals between June 11 and July 11.

Mancini confirmed he has not received any offers and will remain with the Azzurri.

“I have no official offers,” Mancini told GQ. “I’ll remain with the national team at least until the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

“But the target now is to spend a summer in my Portonovo, signing autographs as a European champion.”

But Mancini doesn’t take any of the opponents in the group stage lightly, despite targeting the title already.

“Woe to underestimate Turkey,” he said. “For the title, I see France, then England and Belgium as favourites.”

Mancini then spoke about the Italians playing for Paris Saint-Germain, even if midfielder Marco Verratti injured his knee last Thursday and has been ruled out for four to six weeks.

“Verratti has been a pillar of Paris Saint-Germain for years,” Mancini said. “[Alessandro] Florenzi imposed himself immediately.

“[Moise] Kean did well to play with champions like Neymar, [Kylian] Mbappe and [Angel] di Maria.”

Mancini praised Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, said he will give Roma attacker Nicolò Zaniolo a chance to recover and follows Sassuolo loanee Gianluca Scamacca.

“Federico Chiesa would get the prize as the most improved player in the Italian League,” Mancini added.

“We will wait for Nicolò Zaniolo until the end. He makes the difference, if he’s in top shape. And I follow Gianluca Scamacca with particular attention.”
