With Italy’s next World Cup qualifier against Estonia in Bergamo less than a month away, the Head Coach is stepping up direct contact with Serie A coaches and those hoping to earn a place in the squad. The aim is to get a clear picture of the work done over the summer and see how the players are shaping up.
