Non-playing career
As well as playing, during the early 1970s Mancini was an occasional presenter of London Weekend Television's The Big Match, when the programme, in an attempt to distance itself from the more staid Match of the Day, experimented with using current players as presenters.
On 6 November 1974, he judged the 'Children's Photograph Competition', in London, with Kenneth Williams, and others. Williams' diary entry for that day includes: " When he (Mancini) left, he said to me ' I could stay here all night taking to you...I'd like to meet you again...this could go on forever as far as I'm concerned'. I was pleased and flattered and touched. More than I've been for years":('K.Williams' Diaries':HarperCollins:1993).
After retiring from the game in 1977, Mancini coached several teams, before eventually leaving football altogether and running a variety of businesses.
