Fired Italy coach || FOOTBALL NEWS

Coach Jamapiroero Ventura has been sacked after Italy failed to make it to the World Cup.

In the return-to-play qualifier of the qualifiers, Italy beat Scotland on Monday night with a no-ball drawn draw. Sweden won the World Cup by winning 1-0 in the first leg at home.

Four-time world champions cannot play the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

The Italian Football Federation announced on Wednesday that it will suspend Ventura.

However, after failing to make it to Italy's place in the World Cup, 69-year-old Ventura kept telling about the possibility of standing down on Tuesday. However, he claimed his record as the Italian coach was one of the best in 40 years, "I have lost just two games in two years."

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich's former coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to be the next coach of Italy.
