New Coach Giampiero Ventura will bring three new and specially selected staff members to the Italy team.
Antonio Conte's departure after Euro 2016 means that some of his closest collaborators will be going away with him. The former Torino Coach, however, already has a list of helpers ready to step in.

Antonio Conte's departure after Euro 2016 means that some of his closest collaborators will be going away with him. The former Torino Coach, however, already has a list of helpers ready to step in.
The first of these is Salvatore Sullo, his long-time right-hand man, whose specialty is video analysis. The Gazzetta dello Sport reports that he has already started studying videos of Italy's next opponent, Israel. Giuseppe Zinetti, formerly a goalkeeper trainer, will assist Ventura and Sullo on the pitch.
Finally, Alessandro Innocenti will be the athletic trainer. He has a strong reputation in Italy as very few players picked up muscular injuries during his tenure at Torino.
Along with Ventura's three chosen men, the FIGC may provide him with an extra reinforcement. Apparently Gianni Brignardello, formerly at Watford and specialised in recovering injured players, could be signed for the Azzurri team.
