Yaya Toure has heaped praise onto ex City and current Italy manager Roberto Mancini after he guided Italy to the Euro 2020 semi-final with a 2-1 win over Belgium.

Toure, who was signed by Mancini for City in 2010 and endured many successes at the club together, tweeted, "Mancini, what a man, what a coach!!"

Italy progressed to the latter stages of Euro 2020 after beating Kevin De Bruyne's Belgium 2-1 in the quarter final.

The former City boss is looking to take Italy all the way and his team now face Spain in the semi-final on Tuesday.

Italy extended their unbeaten run under Mancini to 32 games in the win over Belgium breaking their own national record which has stood for 82 years.
