Pep holds talks over Italy job
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has met with Pep Guardiola to convince him to take over as national team head coach, according to Sky in Italy.

Paolo Maldini, the new technical director of the FIGC, and Leonardo, his advisor, travelled to Barcelona to speak with the former Man City boss over the course of three days and explain their project for the Italian national team.

The FIGC brought in Maldini and Leonardo as part of a huge shake-up in Italian football following their failure to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup.

It remains to be seen if Guardiola wants the job, but the FIGC is making concrete attempts to bring him in as the national boss.

Other candidates for the role are Roberto Mancini and Andrea Pirlo.

Italy are looking to find the right successor to Gennaro Gattuso, who left his role after missing out on qualification for this summer's World Cup.

Can't wait to see this deal done.
