The Italian federation have now reportedly turned to Mancini, who led them to glory at Euro 2020, to replace the departed Gennaro Gattuso.
Per Fabrizio Romano, the 61-year-old has decided to part ways with Qatari side Al Sadd in order to facilitate the move.
It’s understood that Mancini has already accepted the job, and is just waiting on the federation to confirm their plans.
