Hardly a surprise that Mancini got sacked, he's failed in every target this year. He barely gave United a challenge in the league, he went out in CL too early and he lost the final of the FA Cup when his team were facing relegation battlers and it was their last hope of silverware.
I'm curious to see where he goes next. Personally, I think he's still got everything to prove as a coach, as until now his success came with some major influencing factors. At Inter, he dominated Serie A in quite possibly its least competitive era ever and at City he had unlimited funds, whereas the key competitors faced their own problems, like United not being a financial powerhouse, Chelsea struggling to regain stability post Mourinho and Arsenal, Liverpool and other traditional challengers not really being up to par.
In his shoes, I'd maybe consider a smaller job where he's allowed to build a project, though tbh given he had essentially unlimited funds at City and still moaned about lack of signings, I'm not convinced he's even capable of taking on this sort of challenge.
