The first italian manager in EPL?

Chelsea's game against City today is a clash between two Italian managers, Carlo Ancelotti and his compatriot Roberto Mancini. Chelsea well known for their Italian influence have a great list of players as well as managers who are associated with the club in the past. If  not mistaken, Gianluca Vialli is the first Italian manager for Chelsea from 1998 to 2000.
