Italy manager Roberto Mancini scouts Paris FC players amid Zoma call-up rumors

Italy head coach Roberto Mancini is set to attend the Paris FC match against Lyon in Paris today to scout Italian players Luca Koleosho and Diego Coppola. This scouting trip occurs as 22-year-old attacker Mohamed Alì Zoma gains attention for a potential national team selection.
