Italy caretaker coach Alberico Evani was pleased with their 4-0 defeat of friendly opponents Estonia.

Evani stepped in after Roberto Mancini tested positive coronavirus.

“It's what we expected from our lads. We knew this was a game where we had everything to lose and couldn't make mistakes," Evani told RAI Sport.

“We saw some good things and the human quality within this group is extraordinary."

Gianluca Vialli was in constant conversation with Mancini via phone on the touchline.

“Luca on the bench did what I usually do with Roberto, so there was this connection between them and it went well. To be honest, we could've done even better, as these lads could've pressed better and raised the tempo, but we can't ask for too much."
