During his playing days, Roberto Mancini was a prolific forward, scoring 118 goals through 352 appearances at Sampdoria, and capturing one Serie A title and four Coppa Italia crowns.

Now 51 years of age, with his cleats long since hung up, the Italian manager hasn't lost a step.

At Inter Milan's training session Tuesday, Mancini produced a moment of genius while taking part in a scrimmage, chipping Tommaso Berni from nearly 20 yards out like it was 1992.
