Roberto Mancini can replace Giampiero Ventura as coach of the Italian team.

The failure of the "scuadra azurra" in the qualifying tournament of the World Cup 2018 was a shock to the football world and a tragedy for Italy. And whatever Giampiero Ventura said about his successes, his days at the helm of the national team were numbered.

Everyone is considered the favorite to replace the vacant position of Carlo Ancelotti, recently dismissed from Bavaria, but the media reported that Pope Carlo intends to work at the club level.

Other candidates are Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus), Antonio Conte (Chelsea) and Gigi Di Biagio (Italian "youth"), but Mediaset Premium considers the favorite of Roberto Mancini.

The contract between the former coach of Inter and Manchester City with Zenit is calculated until 2020, but according to the Italian media, the agreement contains an item that Mancini can leave St. Petersburg if he gets an offer to lead the "scuadra anzurru".
