Giovanni Trapattoni is set to become an international manager once again according to reports in Italy.

The Italian, who left his role as Republic of Ireland boss last September, is being lined up to take charge of the Ivory Coast after their World Cup campaign finishes this summer.

The Gazzetta dello Sport says 74-year-old Trapattoni will take over on a four-year contract, while Marco Tardelli is also likely to sign up once again as his assistant.
