Italy chief offers Everton star Moise Kean advice after recent international snub

Moise Kean has been offered advice by one Italy chief after a recent snub by Roberto Mancini.

The Everton striker and international teammate Nicolo Zaniolo were both left out of the senior Italy side this week after arriving late for a team meeting earlier this summer.

Mancini's side took on Armenia and Finland over the recent international break but did so without the talented Blues star, who instead has been spending his time with the U21 setup.

And Paolo Nicolato, Italy under-21 manager, has had his say on the situation and believes both Kean and Zaniolo learning from their mistake will be key for the future.

He told Radio Anch’io Sport, via  Gazzetta Dello Sport and SportWitness : "(They are) talented players with great qualities, but they must respect the rules and make the right reflection on some mistakes.

"(They) must do a certain type of path and understand the activity must be carried out in a certain way. Being wrong is not a great problem, but not learning from your mistakes is.

"Being a footballer is not just about having game quality, but doing a set of things in group work, with rules that are not many, but must be respected."
