Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon is happy working with new Italy coach Giampiero Ventura.

Ventura was off to a losing start last week with defeat to France.

But Buffon says: “Without making comparisons, I think he is the right man at the right time. I don't need to introduce our CT, as his story speaks for himself and above all the imprint you could see on his teams from miles away.

“That means he does meticulous daily work on the training ground and it's not made up as he goes along. I admire Coaches who explain their ideas and have very specific plans."
