Former AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi says Carlo Ancelotti is the right man for the Italy job.
Italy are seeking a new coach after Giampiero Ventura was sacked following their World Cup playoff failure.
“If Ancelotti should be the new Coach, considering the way I know him, he'd be the right man," Berlusconi told Porta a Porta.
“This is a moment when Italian football is not in good shape. I think it was not only a painful event, but also a serious blow to our country.
“The fact Italy aren't at the tournament in Russia is very disappointing. Now we must get back on track, not ignoring any detail and finding a Coach with international experience."
Berlusconi was also asked if Carlo Tavecchio should resign as FIGC president.
“Tavecchio was elected democratically and I have to say he operated well in many sectors, so they must let him decide what to do," added Berlusconi.
