Milan: Former Italy coach Roberto Donadoni is in talks to take over the Japan national team, according to reports in Italy on Sunday.
The 55-year-old former Napoli and Bologna boss has flown to Japan for talks, according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. 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. Donadoni has been without a club since leaving Bologna last May, after three years with the Serie A side. Donadoni would be the second Italian to coach the Asian giants after Alberto Zaccheroni led Japan to the Asian Cup in 2011.
