The Italian Football Federation are searching for somebody to take over the reigns as their country’s national team manager and they have made Chelsea boss Antonio Conte their number one target.
Conte’s future at Stamford Bridge remains unclear, with plenty of pundits suggesting that he’ll leave in the summer and the IFF want him to take his old job.
The IFF are looking for a new boss after Gian Piero Ventura was sacked after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time post the war and the their vice-commissioner Alessandro Costacurta told Gazzetta dello Sport that he plans to hold talks with Conte in the near future.
He said:
I haven’t chosen yet but I think Conte is the one who could do the best. I’ll definitely talk with him in a couple of months. He has already shown he knows how to be national team coach while the [other candidates] haven’t yet. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be happy with Roberto Mancini or with Carlo Ancelotti – although [Ancelotti] seems to have removed himself from consideration.
Conte was in charge of the Azzuri before heading to London in 2016, where he went on to with the Premier League title in his first season in charge.
Things have not gone so well for Chelsea this season and with talk of unrest between Conte and the powers-that-be at Stamford Bridge, he could well decide to move on in the summer.
