Rome, June 11 (LaPresse) – Oronzo Canà as Italy’s national team coach? "I already have three signed commitments with the United Arab Emirates," joked Lino Banfi on Rai Radio1's ‘Un Giorno da Pecora’. Banfi, widely featured in social media memes in the role of legendary coach Oronzo Canà from the comedy film “L’Allenatore nel Pallone”, is humorously linked to the idea of coaching the Italian national football team.
But who would Lino Banfi like as coach? "José Mourinho," he replied, "although it would have been nice if Ranieri accepted, given all he's done in the past. But if he doesn't want to…"
And what about Gennaro Gattuso? "Gattuso is always a bit ‘incazzuso’ [grumpy or fired up], I don’t know…", Banfi joked.
