Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is “the best” option available to Italy in their ongoing manager search, says Alessandro Costacurta.
The Azzurri have yet to find a replacement for Gian Piero Ventura, who was relieved of his duties after failing to secure qualification for the 2018 World Cup.
Various names have been offered as contenders to fill the void, with Conte one of those to have been heavily linked with a second spell at the helm.
He continues to see questions asked of his future in England, and has admitted that he intends to head home at some stage, and Costacurta has talked up his claims to a return to international coaching.
