Sassuolo President Giorgio Squinzi said his club sets the template that other Serie A sides should follow.
The Neroverdi had their first ever top flight campaign last season and bought their own stadium, while now stars Simone Zaza and Domenico Berardi are impressing for Italy.
“I saw Zaza against Holland and he played well. I also heard of Berardi’s winning goal for the Under-21 side,” Squinzi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I think their success is the right recognition for our strategy based on youth and home-grown talent.
“In the opening game, we had a starting XI of Italian players. The Sassuolo model is the right one to follow in order to emerge from the crisis in Italian football.”
