Former England and Manchester City star Wayne Bridge HATES Italy boss Roberto Mancini

Former England and Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge has revealed the Three Lions' Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy left a sour taste - because he hates Roberto Mancini.

The 40-year-old joined the Blues from Chelsea in 2009 just a few months before the now Azzurri boss succeeded Mark Hughes as manager at the Etihad.

After a season as the regular left back, Bridge fell down the pecking order and was then sent out on loan to West Ham, Sunderland and Brighton before he eventually joined Reading in 2013.
