FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio insists the job of Italy coach Giampiero Ventura is safe.

The Azzurri face Albania on Monday evening and will then enter the play-offs to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

“The Federation is assisting Ventura and ready to follow his choices," Tavecchio told Sky Sport Italia.

“We are aware of every situation. I found everyone was very willing to do their part.

“Ventura has never been up for debate in the role of Italy CT."
