Former Italy boss Gian Piero
Ventura has been named last-placed Chievo Verona's new coach
replacing Lorenzo D'Anna who was sacked after a 3-1 loss at AC
Milan, the club's sixth loss in eight matches.
Sources said former Torino manager Ventura, whose appointment
will be made official shortly, was anxious to get back on a
bench after a disastrous spell with the national team that saw
Italy fail to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 60
years.
On Wednesday Ventura will take charhe of his first raring
session, after which he will be presented, Chievo sources said.
Chievo's only points have come from two draws and the squad
has minus-1 point after being deducted three points last month
for false accounting.
D'Anna, a former Chievo captain, took over in April when
Roland Maran was fired. He helped Chievo finish 13th last season
and avoid relegation with three straight wins to conclude the
season.
