Mino Raiola has slammed Italy coach Giampiero Ventura.

The super agent says Ventura isn't brave enough to select AC Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma.

"As Donnarumma's agent I'd obviously be happy if he became the starter for the national team," Raiola admitted, speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I could hardly say the opposite, that would make me a hypocrite.

“What do I think of Ventura? I'm not going to conceal it, I think he's losing his orientation. He's in a total panic, I can't understand what he's doing anymore.

“I don't think he has enough character to launch a youngster like Donnarumma and cast aside a totem of the national team like Buffon. Ventura also has other rogues to think about."
