Tuttomercatoweb.it reports today that Andrea Stramaccioni is a strong candidate to be offered the job as coach for the Italian U21-squad, after Denis Mangia left his job to take over Hellas Verona. In this, Stramaccioni is in competition with former Pescara-coach Giovanni Stroppa. However, Andrea Stramaccioni were offered the same job back in 2011 and then he declined.
