Stefano Okaka Recommended To Italy National Team By Ex Coach
Published: September 16, 2014
Italian manager Bortolo Mutti has commented on the possibility of Stefano Okaka representing the Italian National Team in future.
The Sampdoria forward recently stated that he wants to play for the 2006 World Champions, despite being eligible to defend the colours of continental powerhouse, Nigeria.
“For me, everything is possible: a player like him, in terms of physical structure and power, it’s really rare to find in Italy and beyond.
“Definitely, he may get his chances under Conte,” Bortolo Mutti told Tuttomercatoweb.com.
Bortolo Mutti coached Stefano Okaka while the forward was on loan at Modena and Bari from AS Roma.
The Italian - Nigerian has enjoyed relative success at Sampdoria, netting 6 goals in 15 Serie A matches after his move in the January transfer window.
