Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini has called up 33 players for the 2020 European Championship Qualifiers leading to the UEFA EURO 2020 against Greece on June 8 in Athens and Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 11 in Turin, Italy.

It is refreshing to see the return of Torino forward Andrea Belotti to the Italian team.  AS Roma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante is also back last time called up by former Head Coach Antonio Conte.   Sampdoria forward Fabio Quagliarella, (36 years old) who was the top Serie A Scorer with 26 goals is also among the called ups.  Way to go for Fabio.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has reported that the squad will gather at Coverciano by 12:00 CEST on Saturday 1st June. In the afternoon, there will be a press conference with the coach at 13:30 CEST before the first of eight sessions at 17:00. The Italian team will leave for Athens on 7 June before training at 18:00 local time with the Azzurri set to train at the Spyros Louis Stadium. The Italian team will return to Italy on Sunday 9th June, travelling to Turin. The following day, the Azzurri will work at 18:00 at the Juventus Stadium before the Bosnia and Herzegovina match on Tuesday 11th June at 20:45.

On Monday 3rd June, the FIGC/Ospedale Pediatrico ‘Bambino Gesù’ partnership will be presented as will the FIGC/Acqua Lete partnership. On Tuesday 4th June, the Auditorium at Coverciano will be the venue for the “L’inno svelato-raccontato agli Azzurri della Nazionale di calcio” event with a concert promoted by the ANCRI and organised in colalboration with the Polizia di Stato about the meaning of the national anthem.

Italy Group J Standing after two games:   Italy is top of Group J on full points after beating Finland 2-0 and Liechtenstein 6-0. Greece and Bosnia Herzegovina both have four points, Finland while Armenia and Liechtenstein have no points.
