Answer

Thank you Jazz....
and thank you for highlighting my mistake with "to explain" :-)

Answer

Ciao, Arti! You could say "on" an Italian team or "with" an Italian team. It's also common to say "for" e.g. they play "for" an Italian team.

Also, you should say you explained "to" him, not explained him. :-) Hope this helps!
