Ex-Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini steps out on beach with stunning girlfriend in St Tropez
Italian boss was appointed the new manager of Russian side Zenit St Petersburg last week
ROBERTO MANCINI is putting the hard work on hold as he soaks up the sun in Saint-Tropez.
The ex-Man City gaffer was appointed the new manager of Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg last week.
And whilst he has already drafted a shortlist of summer transfer targets, which includes Mario Balotelli, the Italian was snapped enjoying a break with his stunning girlfriend.
Side-by-side the pair took a relaxed stroll on the white sands, dipping their toes in the clear blue waters.
Both wore sunglasses, with Mancini donning a pair of blue shorts at the French coastal town.
His partner had heads turning as she showed off her figure in a tiny white bikini.
Mancini split from his wife Federica after almost 30 years together. They have a daughter and two sons.
The 52-year-old has thrown himself back into management and has already lined up a reunion with maverick Balotelli.
The Italian striker worked with Mancini at both Inter Milan and Manchester City.
And after bagging 15 goals in 20 league starts for Nice last season, he wants Balotelli to lead the line ahead of their Europa League campaign.
