Angelozzi praises Mancini 'courage' for Retegui Italy call-up

Frosinone sporting director and top scout Guido Angelozzi has praised Italy coach Roberto Mancini for selecting Mateo Retegui.

The Tigre striker, on-loan from Boca Juniors, is in line to make his Azzurri debut in tonight's clash with England.

Angelozzi told TMW: "The regulation allows it and Mancini, who has courage, has chosen to take this path.

"The real problem, in reality, is that in many cases it is the clubs that are afraid and have little courage in launching young players.

"In A, I only see Empoli and Sassuolo doing these kind of choices."
