The Italian federation is negotiating with Gianni De Biasi and will offer him a four-year contract with the Azzurri, say reports.
The departure of Antonio Conte to Chelsea after this summer's Euro 2016 will leave a void for the Italy national team that won't be easy to fill.
While there have been a number of potential candidates, with Swansea City's Francesco Guidolin and Bologna's Roberto Donadoni recently believed to be the most likely, it appears that FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio has made up his mind.

Calciomercato.it confirms earlier reports that De Biasi is now the hottest name for the Italy bench. Apparently negotiations are underway, and the current Albania Coach will be offered a long-term contract.
The FIGC are trying to avoid a repeat of the Conte situation, so they'll offer a deal that binds the Coach to Italy for four years.
