Mancini is an extremely versatile player, having played at right-back, right-midfield and winger, attacking-midfield and even as part of a front three. This versatility has seen him cement his place in Roma's first XI and put in some sensational displays over the past two seasons. However, Mancini rarely plays in defence anymore and has been getting considerable game time playing on the left side of midfield and attack. He is famous for his mazy dribbling and superb pace.

His place in the side came under speculation during the 2006-2007 season after falling out with club legend Francesco Totti and the arrival of Swedish international winger Christian Wilhelmsson from French team Nantes. This was furthermore fuelled by the rumours of the impending departure of Luís Figo from Internazionale, who are believed to have acquired a first option on Mancini for 12 million pounds as part of the David Pizarro transfer.
