Italian football association commissioner Roberto Fabbricinni announced Roberto Mancini will become Italy's next head coach.
“Yesterday Alessandro Costacurta met Mancini, who gave his willingness to solve the issues with Zenit St Petersburg and become coach of the national team” Fabbricini told Calciomercato.
Mancini will replace Luigi Di Biagio, who was replacing Gian Piero Ventura after Italy’s failure to reach World Cup group stage.
