The Italian Football Federation has begun a search for a specialist who will lead the national team after the failure of Giampiero Ventura.

On the eve of the Italian team played a draw with the Swedes (0: 0) and could not make it to the World Cup-2018.

Despite the fact that the head coach of the team Giampiero Ventura denied the information about his resignation, the departure of the failed specialist from the post of head coach of the "scuadra azurra" is inevitable.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, for the position of the coach of the Italian national football federation considers four candidates. The two main contenders are Antonio Conte from Chelsea and the unemployed Carlo Ancelotti.

If, however, these experts fail to agree, the federation will try to get Roberto Mancini from Zenit or Massimiliano Allegri from Juventus.

It is also possible that the duties of the head coach of the national team will be performed by Luigi di Biagio, now working with the youth team.
