Former

Italy coach Roberto Donadoni is in talks to take over the Japan national team, according to reports in Italy yesterday.

The former Napoli and Bologna boss, 55, has flown to Japan, the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reported. The ex-Italian international midfielder, who spent the bulk of his playing career with AC Milan with whom he won six Serie A and three Champions League titles, coached Italy for two years to Euro 2008. He has been without a club since leaving Bologna last May. (AFP)
