Carlo Garganese and Nima Tavallaey are joined on the Italian Football Podcast by Udinese technical director and former Switzerland midfield star Gokhan Inler.

Inler also looks back at his playing career, telling the incredible story of his bizarre unveiling in a lion mask when signing for Napoli. He also speaks about the brilliance of Antonio Di Natale, playing with Mario Balotelli at Adana Demirsport, and winning the Premier League title alongside Jamie Vardy at Leicester City.
