Italy coach Roberto Mancini has enjoyed a dig at England as he lays out their Nations League ambitions.

The former Inter Milan and Manchester City manager admits they want to win the UEFA trophy.

“A little bit of superstition is always needed. We can't do like the English who had already tattooed the [EURO 2020] trophy," Mancini told TG Poste.

“[The Nations League] is an important tournament, we play in Italy, so we hope to win it.

“In November, there will be the last two qualifying matches for Qatar 2022. After these last matches, we can say something".
