AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is being linked with Roberto Donadoni's Italy job.
Donadoni has been told by the Italian Federation that no new contract talks will take place until July and Corriere dello Sport says an agreement is no sure thing.
Indeed, Ancelotti and Marcello Lippi have both been sounded out by high-ranking FIGC officials about succeeding Donadoni after Euro2008.
Should Ancelotti leave Milan for the Azzurri post, Lippi is expected to take his job.
