Mancini is preparing for his first press conference as City manager after being named Mark Hughes' replacement on Saturday. Mancini - replaced by Mourinho at Inter - has been out of work since leaving the Nerazzurri in May 2008. And though he expects the former Italy international to succeed in England, Mourinho also added a word of warning.
Mancini takes over at City with future in doubtMark Hughes didn't see it comingSheikhs just like SwalesCity stars face uncertain futureRobinho wants Mancini talksRoberto Mancini targets Giorgio Chiellini and Maicon"I want to wish the best of luck to my colleague Roberto Mancini for his appointment at Manchester City," said the former Chelsea manager.
"It will be a great and special experience for him to test himself in a very different reality to Italian football. The Premier League is completely different to what he has known so far.
"Mancini is a good coach and has an owner (Sheikh Mansour) who spends a lot of money. I don't see why he shouldn't be happy in England."
One man who won't be following Mancini to Eastlands, according to his current employers, is Inter striker Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli has already been earmarked as a potential target for Mancini in the January transfer window but Inter president Massimo Moratti insists the 19-year-old is going nowhere.
"I think they (Manchester City) have made a great signing (in Mancini)," said Moratti. "But they should not inquire about Balotelli for January because we are not selling him."
