Juventus director Pavel Nedved feels Italy can win the U21 Euros.

The tournament begins in the Czech Republic today and the Azzurrini are in Group D with Sweden, England and Portugal.

“Italy have a very good team and are among the favourites," Juventus director Nedved said.

“I know them very well and they can win this. It's also a great opportunity for these players to show what they can do and challenge for a place at Euro 2016 with the senior squad."
