#1 Italian national team
Italy have been written off prior to a major tournament far too many times. But just when they looked the part under Antonio Conte after an impressive showing in last year's Euros, they've hit a new low.
A FIFA World Cup without the 2006 Champions is a difficult pill to swallow for any football fan, but on the bright side, the appointment of Ancelotti would be a step taken in the right direction. He knows the Italian team well and the pressure will be less as compared to the regular demands in club management, which will suit the recently sacked Italian.
His tactical approach in contrast to the helpless Ventura, in addition to his understanding of blending youth with experience will help Italy in the future with likes of Donnarumma, Rugani, Belotti having the support and backing of Ancelotti.
