I believe I am one of the best, that's for sure," he told Sky Italia.[LNB]"My aim is to go and have an experience abroad, in what league I don't know, maybe the English one, mainly because I think the English league is very nice, it's a league where everyone enjoys themselves."[LNB]Mancini also insists that it would not matter to him how much money a prospective team had for transfers.[LNB]"That is not important, because someone who does my work enjoys doing it, so it's not said that they have to definitely be fighting for the title," he said.[LNB]
