Manchester City hero Shaun Wright-Phillips says Italy coach Roberto Mancini will do everything to beat England in tonight's Euro 2020 final.

SWP was part of Mancini's Manchester City squad who played at Wembley twice en route to winning the FA Cup in 2011.

He told The Sun: “You could feel the aura and emotion coming off him.

“And if you have that from your manager then the players feed off that. Some of them will be nervous, like we were, as this is one of the biggest games in every one of their careers.

“Mancini was ramped up and excited, but he got the boys right up for it. He believed in us, like he clearly believes in this Italy team.

“He'll be trying to stay calm although he'll be on edge too. How could he not be? It's the final of the Euros.

“So there'll be emotion but after everything he's done in the game, he'll try to stay calm.

“He will have nothing but total belief in his players after what they've done in this tournament. And I'm sure he'll be getting that message across."
