==Playing career==
Born in [[Ribeirão Preto]], [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]], Mancini started his career with [[Guarani FC|Guarani]] in 1988.

Mancini featured sparingly for the club during the season, being crowned champions of [[1995 Copa Libertadores]] but losing the [[1995 Copa do Brasil]] to [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]]; he was [[Ejection (sports)|sent off]] in the first leg of the latter competition's final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/1995/6/15/esporte/25.html|title=Corinthians bate Grêmio e fica a um empate do título|trans-title=Corinthians defeat Grêmio and stay one draw away from the title|publisher=[[Folha de S.
