Pià's son Inacio gets Italy call-up after choosing Azzurri
The 2008-born Borussia Dortmund forward, son of former Napoli player Pià, was picked by Roberto Mancini for the Nations League days after his Under-21 debut.
Samuele Inacio, a forward born in 2008 at Borussia Dortmund and the son of former Napoli player Pià, has been called up by Roberto Mancini to the senior Italy squad for the Nations League. The call comes just days after his Under-21 debut under Silvio Baldini, in a friendly against Luxembourg.
Born to a Brazilian father and a mother with roots in Bergamo, Inacio chose to play for Italy. "The fitness coach on Silvio Baldini's staff had called me and told me to be ready for the call-up, and when it came I celebrated with my friends. I considered all my options, but I chose Italy because I feel more Italian."

I've always played for the national team, even at youth level - my biggest dream is to win a World Cup with Italy. Missing out on qualification is extra motivation, the goal is to bring back big emotions for Italians.
His father Pià played for Napoli.
