Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin admitted he is interested in replacing Antonio Conte as Italy boss.
The national team post will be vacated by Conte after Euro 2016, with the Italian announced as the new Chelsea manager on Monday.
"From a personal standpoint I would be happy to take over the Italian national team," the 60-year-old said in quotes published by Gazzetta World via Radio Uno.
Guidolin's contract with Swansea will expire at the end of the season after the Italian was bought in to work alongside Alan Curtis following Garry Monk's sacking in December.
"My future [at Swansea] has yet to be decided," he said.
"I have a four-month contract here in Wales and I would like to stay, and the results suggest that could happen.
"I've heard some rumours here in Wales but my future has not been decided.
"We'll see how we end the season and what happens in the future."
