On November 7, 2026, Frosinone coach Alvini expressed regret over the club's current situation and suggested that midfielder Calò could be a suitable option for the Italy national team in a role similar to that of Jorginho or Andrea Pirlo.
Alvini's comments come as Italy looks to reinforce its midfield options ahead of upcoming fixtures. Calò, who plays for Frosinone, has been noted for his playmaking abilities and vision, drawing comparisons to the deep-lying playmaker roles once occupied by Jorginho and Pirlo.
The Italian tactician believes Calò's skill set would allow him to dictate tempo and distribute effectively from a deeper position, providing a potential solution for the Azzurri's midfield.
