Cassano’s comments follow Mancini’s recent interview with RAI, in which the former Italy national team coach expressed sorrow for leaving his job to manage the Saudi Arabian national team, from which he was just sacked.

Cassano used an example to explain Mancini’s decision to coach Saudi Arabia: “It’s like if you were LeBron James in the NBA, and Varese called you, and you chose to go there.
