Capped 36 times by Italy, the forward was a bronze medallist at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. • Started his coaching career as assistant to Sven-Göran Eriksson at Lazio before replacing Fatih Terim at Fiorentina in 2001. After leading the Viola to the Coppa Italia, he returned to Lazio and repeated that feat as well as steering the Roman club into the UEFA Champions League and to the UEFA Cup semi-finals in 2002/03. • Became coach of Inter in July 2004, replacing Alberto Zaccheroni one day after terminating his contract with Lazio; led the Nerazzurri to Coppa Italia glory in his debut season, Inter's first domestic honour since the 1989 Scudetto. After Juventus were stripped of their 2005/06 title and AC Milan suffered a points penalty, Inter were finally crowned champions of Italy again. Mancini repeated that success in 2006/07. • Left Inter in May 2008 despite winning another title and replaced Mark Hughes as manager of Manchester City midway through the 2009/10 Premier League season. City finished fifth in his first campaign, third in his second – when they also lifted the FA Cup – and dramatically won the top flight for the first time in 44 years on the final day of his third. • City finished second the following season, but Mancini was sacked two days after losing to Wigan in the 2013 FA Cup final. Mancini succeeded Terim again that September at Galatasaray, winning the 2014 Turkish Cup in what proved his only season; returned to Inter for two seasons from 2014 before joining Russian club Zenit in 2017, stepping down the following year to take charge of Italy. John van 't Schip Date of birth: 30 December 1963 Nationality: Dutch Playing career: Ajax, Genoa Coaching career: Ajax (youth, assistant), Twente, Jong Ajax (assistant), Netherlands (assistant), Ajax (assistant), Melbourne Heart, Guadalajara, Melbourne City, Zwolle, Greece • Born in Canada, Van 't Schip was raised in the Netherlands from the age of eight, coming through the ranks at Ajax. The winger made his first-team debut in December 1981 and went on to win four league titles and three Dutch Cups with the club, also lifting the 1987 European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup five years later. • Also a member of the Netherlands' victorious squad at EURO '88, Van 't Schip won 41 caps for his country and was also involved in the 1990 FIFA World Cup and the 1992 UEFA European Championship, retiring in 1996 after four years with Genoa. • Swiftly moved into coaching with Ajax's youth sides, taking charge of Twente in 2001; after two years back at Ajax B, he linked up with Marco van Basten to serve as assistant to the Netherlands national side. • Left the Oranje after UEFA EURO 2008, following Van Basten to Ajax and working as his assistant there in 2008/09, taking temporary charge in May 2009 after the head coach's departure. • Started a lengthy association with Melbourne Heart – now Melbourne City – in 2009, staying until 2017 either side of a year at Mexican side Guadalajara; returned to Europe in January 2017 for family reasons, taking charge of Zwolle from July 2017 to December 2018. Appointed coach of Greece in July 2019. 5 Italy - Greece Saturday 12 October 2019 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome Match officials Referee Sergei Karasev (RUS) Assistant referees Igor Demeshko (RUS) , Maksim Gavrilin (RUS) Fourth official Vitali Meshkov (RUS) UEFA Delegate Per Svärd (SWE) UEFA Referee observer Uno Tutk (EST) Referee UEFA EURO Name Date of birth UEFA matches matches Sergei Karasev 12/06/1979 8 72 Sergei Karasev Referee since: 1995 First division: 2008 FIFA badge: 2010 Tournaments: 2018 FIFA World Cup, 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, 2016 Olympic Games, UEFA EURO 2016, 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, 2002 UEFA Regions' Cup Finals N/A UEFA European Championship matches featuring the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 29/03/2015 EURO QR Hungary Greece 0-0 Budapest 06/09/2015 EURO QR Italy Bulgaria 1-0 Palermo Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached C.
