Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐlɨˈsɐ̃dɾu faˈjɔʎi ɐmɐ̃ˈtʃinu]; born 1 August 1980), more commonly known as Mancini ([mɐ̃ˈsinʲi]), is a Brazilian football coach and former player.
Mancini started his career playing as a right-back for Atlético Mineiro in 1999. After moving to Italy in 2003, he was converted into an attacking player. During his time with AS Roma, Mancini was famed for his dribbling skills and use of feints, especially his step-overs, playing mainly as a winger on either flank, and occasionally as a second striker and an attacking midfielder. At international level, he made nine appearances for Brazil between 2004 and 2008, and was a member of the squad that won the 2004 Copa América.
