Italian Manager Urges Casadei to Depart Chelsea in January: Zack Oaten

Casadei had hoped for an opportunity this season, but Nunziata has now informed him that it would be best for him to leave England and continue his development elsewhere.

“Last year Cesare had a good first part with Leicester, then he went to Chelsea and played little,” the Italian U21 boss told Rai Radio 1 Sport. 

“This year they kept him there, I advised him to see how it goes until January, otherwise it’s right to look around for another solution. 

“The important thing is that the boys play. If they find a team in Italy, even better. 

“But the experience abroad is also formative. For example, after playing in Switzerland, I found (Mattia) Zanotti to have improved a lot and grown a lot.”
