Ventura’s reputation as a Coach in Italy is shot after failing to take the Azzurri to the 2018 World Cup and walking out on relegation-threatened Chievo. just four games into his tenure.
Nonetheless, he could be given one final chance by the Granata, who are also looking at Sampdoria’s Carlo Osti, Atletico Madrid’s Andrea Berta and Fiorentina’s Pantaleo Corvino, as well as ex-Milan man Massimiliano Mirabelli.
The former Italy CT coached Toro between 2011 and 2016, establishing them in Serie A and unearthing the likes of Ciro Immobile, Matteo Darmian and Angelo Ogbonna in that time.
