West Ham's Ogbonna 'amazed & bitter' after Mancini snubs centre-back for Italy squad

The Hammers defender felt he deserved to take part in Euro 2020 with the Azzurri after an impressive 2020-21 campaign at the London stadium

West Ham star Angelo Ogbonna has admitted he was left "amazed and bitter" after being snubbed for Italy's European Championship squad by Roberto Mancini.

Ogbonna has established himself as one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League since moving to West Ham from Juventus in 2015.

The 33-year-old had arguably his best season yet in 2020-21 as he helped the Hammers secure a top-six finish, but still missed out on a place in Mancini's 33-man preliminary line-up for Euro 2020.
