Former Manchester City and Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini strolls along Saint Tropez beach sporting questionable hat

ROBERTO MANCINI has been spotted for the first time since his Inter Milan sacking - enjoying a stroll along a beach in Saint Tropez, France.

The Italian boss, 51, was given the boot by the Serie A giants after less than two years at the club - after guiding the San Siro side to fourth in the league last term.

Now, former Manchester City chief Mancini is taking a well-earned break from football, taking in a holiday with his wife.

But the main talking point is clearly the Italian's choice of headwear - as he sports a dodgy-looking backwards flat-cap.

Mancini also sported a pair of fresh adidas trainers - and a pair of sleek shades - to round off the 'hip' look.

Before his stint at Inter - where he was replaced by Frank de Boer just two weeks before the new season - Mancini was in charge of Turkish giants Galatasaray for one term, following his four Premier League campaigns at the Etihad.

He spent four seasons at Inter Milan prior to his second, unsuccessful stint between 2004 and 2008 following two seasons at fellow Serie A side Lazio.

Before that he had one full term in charge of Fiorentina.
