Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti would like to see Carlo Ancelotti take charge of Italy.
Italy are seeking a new coach after the sacking of Giampiero Ventura.
“Ancelotti is without doubt perfect for the position of the new national team Commissario Tecnico," Moratti told reporters in Milan.
“The failure to qualify? It's certainly a very negative fact and it's not just a footballing thing, it's about the emotion and passion of the country, but it went how it went.
“At the end of the day it's a relative drama, even if it's important."
