Donadoni New Italian Coach

World Champions Italy have appointed the former Italian International Roberto Donadoni as their new coach just 24 hours after Marcello Lippi announced his decision to resign.

Donadoni's task will be to follow on from Lippi and win the UEFA Euro 2008™ in Austria & Switzerland. But it won't be an easy task. Donadoni got sacked by AS Livorno Calcio in the middle of last season.

The man has a lot of experience winning as a player having won five Italian championships and three European Cups with AC Milan.
