A tale of two Robertos: Martinez sent Mancini's career into a downward spiral after shocking him in the 2013 FA Cup final... and tonight they will meet for the first time since as Belgium and Italy bosses in Euro 2020 crunch

Roberto Mancini and Roberto Martinez not only share a name, but their managerial careers are curiously intertwined.

On May 11, 2013 the pair shared a touchline for the ninth time in four years, with Martinez still looking for his first win over Mancini, who had won the last seven.

What followed was the biggest FA Cup final shock in modern history as little Wigan toppled mega-rich Manchester City, thanks to an injury-time winner from Ben Watson. It would be both managers' final matches at their respective clubs, and remains the last time the pair have met.
