'Nowhere near enough' - Aloisi calls for more Aussies to play in Europe

Former Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi has called on more Australian players to test themselves in Europe and concedes there has been a shortage of talent produced in recent years.

Aloisi enjoyed stints in Belgium, Italy, England and Spain as a player with his most notable stint coming with La Liga side Osasuna - who have just sealed promotion back to the top-flight.

Speaking to La Liga, Aloisi admits there is a shortage of Australian players in Europe at the moment and he hopes to see a few follow in his footsteps and play in Spain in the future.
