Today it was announced that former Torino strategist Ventura has become the new coach of the team. The 68-year-old coach worked with Torino from the summer of 2011 until the end of last season, and before that he has coached clubs such as Bari, Pisa, Verona, Messina, Napoli, Cagliari, Udinese, and Sampdoria. The new coach will start his work after the end of the European Championship.
