However, the 49-year-old insists he is staying put.

"I miss Italy, not just the family but the football," Mancini said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. “But I want to make it clear that I will remain at Galatasaray.

"I am under contract for a further two years and I've done well so far.

"Besides, we will play in the Champions League next season."

Lazio missed out on European football after a disappointing eighth-placed finish in Serie A.

The Roman club has yet to confirm if current manager Edy Reja will continue in charge of the team next term.

Reja took the reins midway through last season to sit on the Lazio bench for the second time in his career.
