Claudio Ranieri has not been contacted by anyone from the Italian Football Federation to take over the national team.

Nantes’ current coach, in an interview with the Italian media, said he not talked to the federal leaders but, if that were the case, he would consider the offer.

“Will I sit on the bench of the Italian national team? Nobody has called me yet. I read news only in the media, nothing more, “he said. “If they call me then I would consider taking the lead in Italy, but I have to talk to Nantes before I have another contract with this team,”
