Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Lazio protégé Simone Inzaghi ‘is ready for a big team’ and that another, Roberto Mancini, ‘will do very well’ for Italy.

Inzaghi’s work in establishing Lazio as a top-four contender has seen him linked with Juventus, who could lose Max Allegri to Arsenal, while Mancini is set to be named as Italy’s next CT.

“Inzaghi is ready for a big team,” Eriksson, who led the Aquile and two former strikers to the Scudetto in 2000, told Goal.com.

“Inzaghi is ready for a big team,” Eriksson, who led the Aquile and two former strikers to the Scudetto in 2000, told Goal.com.

“As a player, he was very good tactically. He lives and thinks for football. He can coach any team in the world and he’s shown that he can do a great job.

“Mancini? I don’t know if it’s confirmed, but I’ve heard the rumours. If he were to sit on that bench, it’d be a good opportunity for him and he’d do very well, I’m certain of that.

“We’re talking about Inzaghi and Mancini, two top Coaches in today’s football.”
