Roberto Mancini's Italian revolution | On The Continent

It's Roberto Mancini's first game back in charge of the Italian National Team this week as Italy take on Belgium on Friday. With so many new faces, the squad looks unrecognisable compared to what it did under Luciano Spalletti and Gennaro Gattuso.

Nicky Bandini joins Dotun and Andy to take a look at their fresh squad led by the likes of Pio Esposito and Samuele Inácio. Plus, it's all change for France as they begin life under Zinedine Zidane.

And Jose Mourinho creates yet more drama at Real Madrid.
