Donadoni lands Azzurri role
|
World champions Italy have moved quickly to replace Marcello Lippi by announcing Roberto Donadoni as his successor.
The Milan legend has limited managerial experience, but the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have had plenty of time to consider their options and have opted for Donadoni.
The FIGC knew in June that Lippi would be leaving his role, although Italy's success in Germany meant that many were shocked by the departure of their coach.
Donadoni's last job was in Serie A with minnows Livorno - but midway through last season, with them placed in sixth, he quit after a row with president Aldo Spinelli.
Donadoni, who has also had spells in charge of Lecco and Genoa, will be officially unveiled by The FIGC in Rome next Tuesday - commissioner Guido Rossi confirmed.
