Retegui’s debut with the shirt Azzurri could happen no less than Thursday March 23 against England, at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, in Napoli. The second meeting will be on Tuesday 28 as a visitor to malt.

“Retegui has qualities that we lack. We’ve been following him for the last time. He is a young man who has been playing in the Argentine league for more than two years. The truth is that we thought that he was not going to want to come, but he immediately told us yes, so we called him immediately”, Mancini told the Italian media today DAZN.

And to reinforce that support from the experienced 58-year-old coach, the president of Tigre himself, Ezekiel Melarana confirmed that Retegui will travel to Italy in the next few days to place himself under Mancini’s orders.
