Serie A clubs offer to help finance new Italy coach salary

Summary

Serie A clubs have proposed a fund to assist with the salary of a new Italy coach.

Currently, Italy is without a coach following Gennaro Gattuso's resignation after the World Cup qualifying failures. The front-runners for the position appear to be former coaches Roberto Mancini and Antonio Conte.
