Juventus striker Quagliarella delighted with Italy call

Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella is delighted with his return to the Italy squad.

The veteran played for Italy coach Antonio Conte at Juve.

"With the boss I have always had a great relationship, even if I didn't play that much," he told Rai Sport.

"We had so many strikers at Juve that it was only normal that a few players had to be left out every Sunday."

Quagliarella then commented on one of the pertinent issues in Italian football - the amount of foreign players in Serie A.

"I agree with the Coach - if there are a lot of foreigners in the League then it has to make a difference.

"Their inclusion should not come at the expense of a talented young Italian."
