Mancini showed that he still has silky skills in his shoes when he appeared on the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars , Rai 1's Ballando Con Le Stelle .

The 52-year-old, who has ruled himself out of taking on the vacant managerial position at Leicester City, appeared as a dancer for one night only on the television show's 12th series premiere episode.

Mancini did not sport his trademark scarf for the program, but instead wore a tuxedo for the occasion as he danced the tango with professional Roberta Beccarini.
