Italy to get new coach on May 20

Italian football federation vice-commissioner Alessandro Costacurta on Saturday said the Italian national team will get a new national coach come May 20.
Former AC Milan defender Costacurta has been given the job of finding a replacement for Gian Piero Ventura, who was sacked after Italy's shock failure to qualify for the World Cup last November.

He said “We will tell you the name of the new coach on May 20, If we have the opportunity to get someone better than Di Biagio, and I don't think there are many, then we will. It's not easy to find someone able to do a perfect job, and we need to see what we have to do to build a team capable of qualifying for Euro 2020, I think it's more important to think about the players we have, because I doubt Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola would have done better yesterday. Di Biagio is a coach who has improved year by year climbing the ranks within the federation. It's very likely that he will either be the new coach or enter into the staff of the new coach. Gigi is very talented, I've been watching him closely and can confirm those within the Federation see the situation the same way I do.”
