Career

Internazionale Primavera

Mancini started his career at Inter Milan where his father was the first team coach. He started as a member of the Giovanissimi Regionali team in the 2005–06 season, and had moved up to the Allievi Regionali team for the 2007–08 season. The next season (2008–09), he left Inter for a loan spell with the Monza youth team, along with a number of other young Inter players that included his elder brother, Filippo. He was released from Inter as a free agent in June 2009.[2]

The British media does not report the movement of academy level players (as they are not sufficiently newsworthy) so the chances of finding a contemporaneous press release reporting Andrea's actual date of signing for MCFC is next to none.
