Cesare Prandelli believes that Italy have the players to challenge for the World Cup in Brazil next summer.

Italy manager Cesare Prandelli has claimed that he has every reason to be confident ahead of the next year's World Cup.

The Azzuri are currently top of qualifying Group B and Prandelli insists that he has the players in his squad to challenge in Brazil.

"I'm pretty optimistic," the 55-year-old coach told Rai Sport.

"We have at least five or six really interesting players – both for the technical values and their spirit when wearing the national team jersey."

Italy will also compete in the Confederations Cup, which begins in June.
