“He’ll have a two year contract until the World Cup in Russia [in 2018]. Among the criteria which led me to Ventura, one is that he’s a maestro of football.
“He’s also taught a lot of Coaches his innovative approaches, he’s brought through many players who went on to the national team, he has huge experience working with the youth sector and I think he has a healthy sense of belonging.”
Tavecchio also confirmed that Ventura's official presentation will be on July 18.
