“We’ve managed a great achievement,” the former Italy international told Radio Anch'io Sport today.
“Qualification for the European Championships is a goal which seemed unthinkable at the start of the campaign, given the quality of our opponents.
“When you think about the fact we started from scratch with a new direction, right now more of our players are playing for their respective clubs, and this gives us optimism.
“However, we can always do better. Now we have two objectives – to get as far as possible in the European Championships and qualify for the next Olympics.”
