Stramaccioni excited by young Udinese talent

Udinese coach Andrea Stramaccioni is excited by the talent at the club.

Stramaccioni returns to management after a season out of the game following his departure from Inter Milan.

"This is a club that finds players with an incredible scouting network, signing promising figures who are ready to explode," Strama told Sportitalia.

"We are a factory of great players, so there are always great talents behind the first choice members of the squad. Of course, before accepting the Udinese job I made sure Antonio Di Natale was still here!"

Among the talents who have come through the Stadio Friuli are new Arsenal signing Alexis Sanchez and Fiorentina's Juan Guillermo Cuadrado.

"This is the Udinese world, very different to that of Inter, but still at the vanguard in Italy and Europe. I didn't expect 4,000 people to attend our presentation, but there is such passion for this long-term and solid project.

"If I am a Serie A Coach at all, then I owe it to Massimo Moratti and will always be grateful. I hope now to repay the Pozzo family for their faith in me."
