Andrea Pirlo is no longer in the running to become Italy's next manager after 'political' concerns were raised over the football legend's sponsorship deal with a Russian betting company. Pirlo‚ 47‚ was backed by former team-mate and new Italian Football Federation (FIGC) technical director Paolo Maldini to land the role after legendary ex-Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola reportedly declined the opportunity. The former AC Milan and Juventus star was on the brink of agreeing a deal with the crisis-hit football nation before several Italian politicians raised concerns about Pirlo's role as an ambassador for Russian betting firm Fonbet.
