Napoli striker Fabio Quagliarella is pleased to be in Cesare Prandelli's first Italy squad.

Italy face Ivory Coast on Tuesday in London.

"I have so much desire to begin again from my performance in the World Cup against Slovakia," said Quagliarella.

"This is an Italy side with many interesting young players. It's a strong squad and I am happy that Prandelli admires my work."
