Antonio Conte is set to depart the Azzurri for Chelsea this summer, and the former Torino manager is reportedly closing in on a deal to replace the 46-year-old
Giampiero Ventura has left his position at Torino amid reports he will replace Antonio Conte as Italy coach after Euro 2016, while Sinisa Mihajlovic has taken over at Stadio Olimpico.
Ventura is considered to be the frontrunner to take charge of the national team following the European Championship in France, with Conte departing for Chelsea.
The 68-year-old had previously played down talk of him assuming the Italy role, but the likelihood of it occurring has increased, with Mihajlovic - sacked last season by AC Milan - replacing him in Turin.
