IT SEEMS that while in Manchester, Roberto Mancini didn’t read the Morning Star. If he did, he certainly stopped when he moved back to Italy.

I say this because after I said Louis van Gaal lost the respect of the media after insulting Sun journalist Neil Custis, Mancini was extremely rude to Mediaset Premium reporter Mikaela Calcagno.

There was no name-calling or sexist remarks. This was just a case of a bitter man undermining a woman trying to do her job.
