    World Cup winners Italy have appointed Roberto Donadoni as their new coach to succeed Marcello Lippi.

    Lippi resigned on Wednesday, three days after leading Italy to their fourth World Cup success.

    Donadoni, 42, steered Livorno to sixth place in Serie A last season before resigning in February.

    The former AC Milan midfielder, who won 63 caps for Italy, has also been in charge at Lecce and Genoa since beginning his coaching career in 2001.

    His first game in charge of his country will be a Euro 2008 qualifier at home to Lithuania on 2 September before a rematch with World Cup final opponents France in Paris four days later.

    Not a bad choice, imo :)

    Thats the problem with those small teams, the chairmen are so desperate for success that when they get it, they dont know what to do with themselves and end up losing one of the most key men to that success :)
