Former Napoli coach Emiliano Mondonico believes Antonio Conte should again take the Italy job.
The Chelsea manager continues to be linked with the Azzurri post, with FIGC directors confirming their interest.
Mondonico told TMW: "He's ideal for the national team, getting a new club after this season could give him problems, he left Bergamo because he was not well seen by the people, he needs to have people around him and help him stand on the pedestal.
"He has proven to be a good coach, he has a trained staff and he knows how to evaluate the qualities of individual players and choose the best."
