Udinese captain Antonio Di Natale has backed former coach Francesco Guidolin to jump into the Italy hot seat vacated by Cesare Prandelli.
After four years in charge, Prandelli new coach of Galatasaray resigned following Italy s failure to qualify for the knockout phase of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Italy finished third in Group D behind Costa Rica and Uruguay after losing to the South Americans in their final fixture last month.
With the national team on the lookout for Prandelli s successor, Di Natale has thrown his support behind Guidolin, who stepped down as coach of Udinese at the end of last season a position he had occupied since 2010.
After a 30-year career he would be a good man for the Nazionale, Di Natale told reporters of the 58-year-old It…
New Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri understands the scepticism surrounding his appointment but is determined to win over the fans.
Allegri was appointed on Wednesday following the departure of Antonio Conte, who left Juve by mutual consent 24 hours earlier.
The 46-year-old takes over following a mixed spell with Milan, which saw him win the Serie A title in his first season in charge in 2010-11 before a downturn in fortunes.
Allegri was sacked by Milan in January with the 18-time Italian champions languishing in 11th place in the top flight.
However, he has now been given a chance to restore his reputation with a Juve team that will be looking to win a fourth straight Scudetto in 2014-15.
And, although he was surprised by the offer, the job r…

Liverpool will start their 2017 UEFA Champions League campaign against a tough opponent. One that most teams in the competition wanted to avoid during the first round. The Reds will host Sevilla in their UCL opener and even though the game will be played at Anfield Road, it appears to be a complicated fixture for Jürgen Klöpp s men. Kick-off is scheduled at 7:45 PM BST, and Danny Makkelie will be the referee.
Liverpool
The Reds are coming off a disastrous performance where they lost 0-5 against Manchester City. However, things were not as bad as the score line indicated. Liverpool matched toe-to-toe with City until Sadio Mane was sent off, and they simply couldn t adjust to play with 10 men aft…
Andriy Shevchenko says in-form Ukraine are up for the challenge of facing world champions Germany at Euro 2016.
Ukraine s first match of the tournament is a daunting assignment against the 2014 World Cup winners in Lille next Sunday.
Mykhaylo Fomenko s team have won both of their two warm-up friendlies against fellow finalists, beating Romania 4-3 and Albania 3-1.
And assistant coach Shevchenko, who captained his country as a 35-year-old on home soil at Euro 2012, feels there is plenty of reason for optimism ahead of the meeting with Joachim Low s side.
We have done well in the friendlies against Romania and Albania, he said.
The lads are in good shape, we played great football. Now we wait for the day, on the 12th, when we will play against Ge…
Neymar is not for sale and Real Madrid and any other potential suitor for the Brazil superstar can forget about signing the forward, says Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Rumours of a return to LaLiga with Madrid or former club Barcelona began circulating shortly after he made the move to the Ligue 1 champions in a record €222million deal from the Blaugrana in August 2017.
The speculation has refused to dissipate despite constant reassurances from PSG s hierarchy that their prized asset, who is sidelined with a foot injury, will stay at the Parc des Princes.
But Al-Khelaifi was unequivocal when asked by Marca about the long-term future of Neymar, who has 13 goals in as many Ligue 1 appearances this season.
Neither Real Madrid nor any o…
The Mirror understands that Arsenal are considering making a move for Barcleona midfielder Arda Turan when the transfer window reopens in January.
The thirty year old is ready to consider his options after failing to appear in any of Barca’s opening eleven games this season with Galatasaray in his native Turkey also monitoring the situation.
Turan moved to the Nou Camp from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2015 and racked up fifty-five appearances in all competitions across his first two seasons at the club, scoring fifteen goals.
All but two of those strikes came last season when he helped the Catalan club retain the Copa Del Rey.
Internationally he won his one hundredth cap for his country in a goalless draw with Turkey back in June but hasn’t…

Embracer Group announced earlier this year that its months-long internal restructuring process that resulted in thousands of layoffs and multiple studio closures had come to an end, though it seems we’re still feeling the aftershocks. Reports claim Piranha Bytes has now also been shut down.
As per Polish outlet CD Action, anonymous sources have revealed that Piranha Bytes shut its doors at the end of June. The studio was allegedly looking for external investments in the lead-up to its closure in the hopes of being bought out, but after being unable to secure the necessary investment, it was forced to shut down.
The report claims the developer had intended to work on a new dark fantasy RPG similar to Gothic, and it would have been built on Unreal Eng…
Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3 will no longer receive regular updates. Launched in September 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, the third-person shooter has seen several cosports bettingntent drops, adding new items, weapons, and maps to the game. There’s also been a regular supply of Splatfests with different themes.
Of course, this doesn’t mean a complete lack of support going forward. Events like Splatoween, Spring Fest, Frosty Fest, and Summer Nights will continue to cycle. Big Run, Eggstra Work, and Monthly Challenges also remain, though any weapon adjustments will be released “as needed.”
Check out our review of Splatoon 3 here. It sold nearly 12 million u…
Nottingham Forest produced an impressive performance to knock Tottenham out of the EFL Cup with a 2-0 win on Wednesday, even after finishing the game with 10 men.
Second-half strikes from Renan Lodi and Jesse Lingard gave the Premier League s bottom side victory, though nerves were heightened when Orel Mangala was sent off with 15 minutes remaining.
Spurs have made a habit of dramatic comebacks of late, and Antonio Conte named a strong side at the City Ground, including Harry Kane and only making four changes from the team defeated by Liverpool on Sunday.
But they could not rescue a result this time and have now lost consecutive matches ahead of meeting Leeds United in their final fixture before the World Cup.
A quiet first half saw Spurs debutant Fraser …
