Former Roma and Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has said that Italian national team has not been giving its full potential in the games that have been play the recently.

Ranieri described Italian football as hell and suggested some of his Roma players refused to give their all for him.

The 59-year-old has also coached in England and Spain during his career but his 18-month stay at his home town club has left him bitter.

"In football there is heaven and hell. You can decide where you want to stand between the two but compared to England, it's hell here," he told Rai TV.
