The papers read that it was the apocalypse on the morning of 14th November; Italy had failed to reach the World Cup finals for the first time since 1958. It is a great national shame and a great shame for the football traditionalists. The question at hand is who will replace manager Gian Piero and we take a look at five of the options.
3Carlo Ancelotti
He is one of the favourites to land the job. Since being sacked by Bayern Munich, the Italian has been linked with a lot of jobs, but none have come to fruition; so that makes him available to take the job now. He is an incredibly successful manager having won trophies everywhere he has been. He has even won four different league titles in four different countries. This man is a proven winner, and the IFF (Italian Football Federation) would be left kicking themselves if they did not get sought him out as the first choice.
He might be linked with a return to the Premier League with Everton sniffing around, but with this latest disaster for his own country, he might be tempted to take up the role with the IFF.
