💣 Bombshell: Pirlo on verge of becoming Italy's new manager | OneFootball

The Italian Football Federation has taken a decisive step toward naming its next head coach. The federation’s leadership has opened formal talks with Andrea Pirlo to offer him the role of manager of the Nazionale for the next four years.

The top choice after high-profile rejections

The former midfielder’s candidacy gained definitive momentum after Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti turned down approaches from the federation. With that, the Italian football legend became the clear frontrunner to take charge of the national team.

Final details before signing the contract

At present, both sides are in intensive contact to fine-tune and fully finalize the financial terms of the deal. If the remaining details are settled in the coming hours, Pirlo will be one step away from officially leading the Azzurra’s new project.
