Mancini: Success in Europe for Serie A clubs does nothing for Italian football

Italy coach Roberto Mancini is unconvinced by talk of Serie A football being revived.

Italy boast three teams in the Champions League quarterfinals, two in the Europa League and one in the Europa Conference League.

Former Inter Milan coach Mancini said, "No, we cannot speak of the rebirth of the Italian football.

"At most Serie A clubs. If there were 50/60 Italian players it would be different, maybe even half, but not like this.

"It is not a rebirth of Italian football. Out of three teams, the starting Italians are at most 7/8. The reality is this."
