ROBERTO MANCINI is lording it like Piers as the Italy manager holidays with wife Silvia Fortini in exclusive Saint-Tropez.
TV celebrity Piers Morgan is at the same French Riviera haven where former Manchester City chief Mancini looks as fit as ever – 19 years after retiring as a player.

And although they are both 55, the comparisons between the two seem to end there – judging from their sun-blessed vacations so far.
Having met acting icon Joan Collins for lunch at Le Club 55 last week, Morgan began this one by tearing a tendon, leaving him on crutches.
In contrast, ex-Azzurri striker Mancini has been snapped relaxing on the soft sand in just shorts and taking a dip in the clear sea – whilst still wearing his sunglasses.
The Sampdoria legend twice bossed Inter Milan and managed City from 2009-2013, winning the Premier League and FA Cup.
And along with taking over the national team, Mancini’s personal life has also changed in the past two years.

He was married to Federica for 30 years until 2016.
And after first being pictured with Silvia the following year, they married in 2018.
But although enjoying his current trip, Mancini has spoken about the tragic effects of coronavirus in Italy, to which he has lost a childhood friend.
He said: “Nobody was prepared for this hell on earth.
“Thinking that people are dying because there aren’t enough intensive care beds is absurd, completely unacceptable.”
Still in the shape of his playing days, Roberto Mancini also shows he is too stylish for budgie smugglers
Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan is with his three sons – Spencer, 27, Stanley, 23, and 19-year-old Albert.
He shared pictures on Instagram of his family’s mansion, even saying their neighbour uses a helicopter as a taxi.
Apart from his sons with ex-wife Marion Shalloe, he has a daughter, eight-year-old Elise, with second wife Celia Walden.
