Giampiero Ventura will be announced as the Azzurri's new Coach today, sources confirm.
Antonio Conte announced long ago that he would be leaving for Chelsea at the end of Euro 2016, and the Italian Federation has been looking for a new Coach for several months.
FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio confirmed that today would see the announcement of the new Italy Coach, who is widely expected to be Ventura, although the contract itself will probably be signed at a later date.

The former Torino Coach is expected to earn €1.3m per season, with a two-year contract and an option to extend for another two years. There will be no bonuses for qualifying for the World Cup in 2018.
Ventura will bring along his right-hand-man Salvatore Sullo as well as the goalkeeper trainer Giuseppe Zinetti and the athletic trainer Alessandro Innocenti. The team has been working together with Ventura since 2011.
