Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini has praised Nemanja Vidic for his attitude and fitness since taking the reins at the Italian club.

The former Manchester United defender struggled under previous boss Walter Mazzarri but is now performing brilliantly, according to Mancini.

The 50-year-old is pleased with the attitude of his Serbian defender and is happy with his recent performances in Serie A.

"Vidic has a better attitude," Mancini told reporters.

"He's better physically as well and he definitely has great experience and charisma. We are very happy with him and his efforts last weekend."

Vidic headed in his side's third in the remaining minutes of Inter's game against Genoa last weekend, scoring his first goal for the club.
