Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura's
contact has been extended to run until Euro 2020, Italian Soccer
Federation (FIGC) President Carlo Tavecchio announced Wednesday.
Former Torino boss Ventura took after the Azzurri bench last
year, replacing Antonio Conte, who had led the national team to
the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
Italy have not qualified for next year's World Cup in Russia
yet.
They are joint top of European qualifying Group G with Spain
with 16 points from six games, although the Spaniards have a
better goal difference.
A September 2 match against Spain in Madrid looks set to be
decisive to see who will qualify as group winners and who will
have to take part in a playoff.
