Italy🇮🇹 Sacks Ventura👔 After World Cup🏆 Failure❗IMG_20171116_094822_667.JPG
Gian Piero Ventura has been sacked as Italy manager after overseeing a catastrophic World Cup qualifying failure.

For the first time since 1958 Italy have failed to qualify for the World Cup, with a 0-0 draw against Sweden on Monday at San Siro clinching a 1-0 aggregate victory for the Swedes in their qualifying play-off.

And the debacle has cost Ventura his job, as the FIGC confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday.

Ventura refused to hand in his resignation immediately following the Sweden match, saying he needed time to speak with the Italian federation president.

But the decision has now been taken out of his hands, as he is forced out of the post after a year-and-a-half in charge.IMG_20171116_094834_318.JPG
