Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri not shutting door on Italy job

Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri has calmed talk of taking the Italy job.

After victory over AC Milan, Sarri was asked about Lorenzo Insigne's treatment by former Italy coach Giampiero Ventura.

Sarri said, “I would not leave Insigne out, but each tactician is the result of his experiences and Ventura always played with two upfront.

“I did not like the way the media tore Ventura apart, because when there is a loss like that, the blame is to be shared around, never just apportioned to one man.

“Would I be a CT? At the moment I am enjoying training these lads and working every day on the field. We're doing well and hope to achieve something at the end of it."
