Roberto Mancini addresses the media wearing a red nose

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini showed support for Comic Relief by sporting a red nose during part of his press conference.

The Italian boss, who was speaking ahead of City's match against Everton, pledged his support to the charity, which helps under-privileged individuals in Africa and the UK.

The Premier League-winning boss donned the charity's iconic accessory while holding up a white T-shirt with 'Red Nose Day' emblazoned on the front.

It's not the first time that Mancini has injected some humour in his press conferences; the 48-year-old previously wore a mask of assistant manager David Platt.
