Italian FA go in search of their next manager as they draw up three-man wishlist of Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Mancini and Chelsea's Antonio Conte

The Italian Football Association have identified the three managers they want as the next head coach of the national team.

Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Mancini and Chelsea's Antonio Conte are the trio that the FIGC believe can turn around Italy's fortunes after they dismally failed to qualify for this summer's World Cup.

The FIGC sacked manager Giampiero Ventura following Italy's woeful campaign in November, while the FA itself has been without a president for the same period of time since Carlo Tavecchio's resignation.
