Italian papers: Pirlo named Italy manager, Inter push for Romero
The front pages of Italy's main sports dailies focus on two major stories. Andrea Pirlo, the former Juventus and Italy midfielder, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Italian national team, succeeding the previous incumbent. Separately, Inter Milan are pushing hard to secure the signing of Cristian Romero, the highly-rated Argentine centre-back. The combination of a high-profile coaching appointment and a defensive reinforcement battle dominates the Italian football agenda.
Read the full story at football-italia.netPirlo's appointment is a bold, high-risk choice given his limited managerial experience, and it sets the tone for Italy's tactical direction going forward.
