Walter Mazzarri
On 14 November 2014, Mancini agreed to a surprise return at his previous club Inter Milan, replacing Walter Mazzarri at the helm of the "Nerazzurri". His first game in charge was against rivals AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, which finished in a 1–1 draw, with the club's goal scored by Joel Obi. On 27 November 2014, Mancini's 50th birthday, Inter Milan played the first European match of his second spell, a 2–1 home win over Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk to confirm that Inter Milan would top the group with a game remaining.
