Italy coach Roberto Mancini condemns Zaniolo’s gesture at derby

The coach of the Italian national team and former Lazio player Roberto Mancini commented on Zaniolo’s exclusion from the call-up list for Italy’s upcoming fixtures in the Nations League.

When asked what led to his decision to not call up the 22-year-old, the Italian coach said:


“Zaniolo didn’t pay for the gesture in the derby even though I think he has to pay attention to certain things.”

He added:

“The choice was only a technical one, he is young and will be important for our national team.”
