The Italian national team is forced to look for a new strategist after Luciano Spalletti stepped down from his duties on Sunday.

Indeed, the Italian Football Federation already has a clear favorite to whom they would like to entrust the national team’s reins.

According to "Tuttosport,” the main candidate to become the coach of the Italian national team is considered to be Claudio Ranieri, who ended the last season as the head coach of "Roma.”

It is added that the 73-year-old specialist has already rejected the first offer from the Italian federation, but there is no doubt that negotiations will not end there.
